Ok, brewed this up on Friday and tried my first parti-gyle. Not sure if it was the best choice since I am fairly new to all-grain but I have a few questions. Do you guys up the grain bill at all for the parti or leave it the same. I left it the same and mashed with 9 gallons to get around 7 gal for the IIPA. I then added a few lbs of pale and a few biscuit and sparged to get me second beer. My first only ended up with an O.G. of 1.068 so it's not going to be as big as I hoped. Also after taking samples the past 2 days it appears my yeast have finished at 1.030 which is very high I think. I know I probably Should not have tried this being such a new brewer but just looking for some help. I made a starter the morning of the brew so maybe it was not big enough by the time I pitched it. Do I wait longer and see if the fg drops at all or do I do something now? Any help would be great!! I used 1056 for the IIPA and London ale for the second. I have read up on people racking on top of a fresh yeast cake to try and finish the beer. I suppose I could try racking on top of the London yeast if this is a good idea. PLEASE HELP LOL!!
