For anyone interested....4.1 units is too much to carb at. lol Dang phone app.
I would suggest somewhere between 3-3.5 units.
No idea why but mine finished super high (1.020) with an OG of 1.051 (before the addition of homemade limeade). I have no idea why. I have never had a beer finish this high before. I primed for 3 volumes with table sugar and the bottles have been carbing for 11 days and they are still overly sweet. I can still get a bit of that fermentation aroma so I am aware they will need more time in the bottle.
I know that high FGs tend to happen more in big beers but I have brewed plenty of double IPAs with US05 and the highest any of them has finished is 1.016. For this beer I used Mangrove Jack's Bavarian Wheat Yeast and fermented at 17 deg C for 18 days. I did this batch as a partial mash BIAB with 3 kg of grain and 1.5 kg of wheat LME. Any idea what might have caused the high FG and how to avoid it in the future? I still have so much Motueka and Sirachi Ace that I will need to make a few batches of this haha.
Additionally, I am going away for a few weeks overseas. Do you reckon this will dry out in the bottle while I am away or will it continue to taste like lemon lime Gatorade?
