I have now done about 5 all grain BIAB and I am very happy with the results. I do have one issue and I am wondering if the problem is not aerating my wort.
In all of my recipes my FG only gets down to 1.20 to 1.22.
Some started as high as 1.072 some as low as 1.050.
I have tried different yeast, but mostly the same procedure, so I think I can rule out the yeast.
I have 2 thoughts to what might be the issue, which one should I try first.
1. I aerate by pouring the wort into the fermenter, thats all.
I am thinking of getting an aeration stone. I have the pump and tubing already.
2. Something with my procedure is causing the FG to be high. Not sure what, but I will have to do more research.
Any thoughts? I am leaning toward #1, could a bad aeration cause low FG.
Also, all my beer got off to a quick fermentation and vigorious fermentation.
I have used dry yeast and liquid yeast.
