Well if the SG was 1.010 I'd say fermentation was done at day 4, not stalled out. However, I recommend leaving any beer to sit in primary for at least 10 days, preferably 2 weeks. I think your beer is going to turn out fine.
There is no reason to add yeast energizer to this batch. I doubt that you need energizer in any batch if you are using healthy fresh yeast.
I would recommend looking into using a yeast starter in the future.

Sorry we didn't get back to you ASAP on this one. I am sure your bottled brew will be fine either way. Write back after it's bottled up and carbed to let us know how it turned out.

hey if anyone is around i have a question about my batch. i an making India pale ail (coopers) used 300g of sugar (corn) and 500g of dry malt extract i have had it on for on day 4 it seemed to stop fermenting i checked the sg and said 1.010 i was told by the brew store that i needed to add yeast energizer and to increase the temp from 21C to 28C so i did. after day 9 i still read 1.010 SG and temp of 28C the brew has a cloudy look smells good though. i was wondering if the malt will make this look the way it does or why it seemed to stall after 4 days. if by chance there is no sugar left in the batch and i added the yeast energizer when i prime the bottles am i going to be in for a surprise. please respond quick i am planning to bottle tonight thanks… chris bogue
