Hi guys, i'm new to homebrewtalk.com. On my 5th allgrain right now and i'm noticing a rather annoying trend. Everytime my FG is 6,7,8 points higher than i'm aiming for. Fermenters are 5 gallon buckets w/ airlocks. I keep my temps around 70, or as close as I can, maybe a 5, 6 degree swing. I've let it sit for as long as three weeks. Tried slightly raising the temp, rocking the bucket (a bit torn on that one) and once added sugar after boiling it in water although that was not to lower the FG but only to raise the alc level to about 4%.
Any tips or outrage to throw my way? Most appreciated.
Thanks guys
