Hey guys- I'm looking for some newbie advice for future batch. I made made a New Belgium Fat Tire Clone following the recipe to a "T". This is my second batch I've made but first of this recipe. Everything was going great. At yeast pitching wort temp was down to 69 degrees and the OSG was 1.061. Today when bottling after 13 days fermenting the FSG was only 1.042 giving a final ABV of 2.5%. Obviously it has not dropped as much as I would expect. having said that, I bottled anyhow as today is only day i could do it for awhile. I'm curious as to some possible reasons for the FSG to not be down around 1.011 where it should have been. The ONLY reason I can see for that and it's likely a major factor was the ambient room temp during fermentation. I live in North Florida and it's getting warmer and we don't use AC for as long as possible since we use it for so much of the year. Ambient room temp was high 70's low 80's. Do you think this stalled/killed the yeast hence the high FSG? Recipe called for fermentation at around 68 degrees but that is not physically possible. Fermentation started off excellent as it was bubbling like mad and peetered off after about 4 days which I took as being the norm. I know it doesn't stay like that the entire 2 weeks and gradually slows down though not stopping entirely. If the ambient temp is in fact the culprit as I suspect then lesson learned and I can enjoy a nice 5 gallon batch of near-beer! It tastes fine to me. We'll see how it bottles out. Hoping for no exploding bottles.
