So here goes. I did my last partial mash creme ale this afternoon. i've been brewing for almost 2 yrs and never had anything like this happen. My SG was a whopping 1.030.
Grain bill: (What I mashed at about 150 F for over an hour in about 3 gallons of water)
5.5 lbs of 2 row
1 lb of flaked oats
1 lb of flaked maize
I then sparged about 9 quarts of 170 F water. Brought to a boil, added:
I then added 1 pound of DME with a half pound of white sugar.
And then brewed for over an hour.
I did just buy a new hydrometer and I am really hoping that the hydrometer is broken, but I doubt it.
Anyone know what I messed up on? I did add top off with water, when I was done but I can't figure this out.
As I said this is my last partial. I am switching to BIAB and was originally going to do this as my first BIAB brew, but I need beer now. (Still haven't purchased my equipment).
At this SG, is this even worth using or should I just dump it?
Thanks,
