Might I suggest adding the mouthfeel you are looking for with hop shots? I just made a beer with all of the hops (and hopshots)in the last 20 minutes. Smooth bitterness, great mouthfeel and wonderfull flavor. Just a thought!
Started at 1.038
Used a fresh smackpack of the 1968 and a starter. Also a 1 day starter for some 4th generation wlp oo4 (still floculates well). I would normally blame the yeast, but splitting the batch and using a fresh smackpack for on 5g makes me think its process.
Maybe it got a little too...
I brewed this about 10 days ago, split a 10g batch with 5 g 1968 and 5g wlp004. Both stopped fermenting at a FG of 10.30. WTF happened?
I know my temp control isn't 100% accurate at 65, but both just stopped.
