Ok guys. 3rd batch in a row that my gravities are all finishing in the 1.040 range. Yeasts US05 (Double IPA SG 1.085 Ferment @ 65F), WPL007 - double starter (RIS SG 1.095 ferment @ 68F), and Wyeast Belgian high gravity yeast (Belgian Triple SG 1.090 ferment @ 63F). Starters used on the 2 liquid yeasts and the US05 was rehydrated with slightly warm sanitized water.
Fermentation done in a SS brew tech chronicle with fermentation control. Using a ATC refractometer calibrated with distilled water. All beers taste good but too sweet. I have roused yeast on the last two batches and raised ferment temps. I am at a loss except that my refractometer is junk, but the beers are sweet so I don't think that the case. Any advice?
