I brewed 10 days ago it seems as though fermentation has ceased. the recipe was
6.6 #'s Amber LME
1# chocolate
1# Munich
1# Caramel 60L
Muntons Gold dry Yeast
1 oz Perle @ 30 mins left
1 oz Williamette @ 10 mins left
Steeped grains at 155 for 35 mins
OG was 1.054
Final is still at 1.021 and not changing
Doesn't this sound high? It wouldn't worry about it but sample tastes pretty sweet then is followed by what i would call the perfect bitterness in the after taste.
I know that things are supposed to mellow out when it goes thru secondary and bottling but does that include the sweetness mellowing out. It tastes Prettty good for flat warm beer, but sweet.
Should i re-pitch? Is this what I'm stuck with? Is this a result of all that LME?
ALL in All I'm pretty pleased but would love to get a little sweetness out of "foreground" of taste
Thanks
