Hey guys,
So my current brew, with a target OG of 1.077, I hit 1.060 only. My previous brew I hit both OG and volume on the nose, so it seems like it's not something I'm doing that's down to my general process (though obviously I will review that too just to do all I can).
A solo commercial brewer friend of mine says he also has trouble with high ABV beers, and he does it for a living (I can't speak for how good his overall processes are though, just another point of reference for me).
Any suggestions apart from the main ones I can find via google? (which I was aware of when first starting out when I got a super low OG, but addressed that for normal ABV beers it seems).
And adding corn sugar for this batch to address it in the short term, I've read the best time is after high-krausen rather than at start of fermenting, is that right? And a pound of sugar will add around 10 points to gravity?
Cheers guys.
