So, I've got a black imperial ipa that has been stuck at 1.050 (og 1.108) for two weeks, and i've been trying everything to get it going again but I'm losing hope fast. So lately i've been wondering about just adding some brett, something like wyeast 5526, and then putting it away for a year... or two.
So, my question is first, will this work/ is it a decent idea? And will it drop my gravity/produce a drinkable beer? Also, how should I go about doing it? Can I just add the wyeast pack straight to the secondary? or should I make a starter?
I have no experience using wild yeast, and this is only my third batch ever... So any advice or input would be much appreciated!
Also, here is a thread I posted a few weeks ago with what I've been doing to try and get it going again and my recipe: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f163/stuck-fermentation-help-301411/
