So it's been quite some time since I've been on here. Here lately I've been putting more of an emphasis on hitting my final gravity mark to produce a nice clean beer that's not overly sweet.
So just for some background I brew on a Sabco V350MS. The latest brew was a light American lager. I'll add the recipe to make it easier to help identify any issues.
Recipe:
6lb- 2row
2lb- flaked maize
.5lb- carapils
White labs American lager yeast (2L Starter)
I did a single step mash which was kept at 148°F for approximately 70 min and then boiled for an hour. It was then placed in a regulated fridge at 55°F.
My O.G. reading was a little higher than I expected at 1.063... My F.G. after two weeks was 1.035.. Which to me is extremely high. I used a .5 micron air stone, yeast was in a 2L starter.
Only thing I can think of is that possibly going up on the temp to 150°F.. I cannot tell if my issue is excessive unfermentables or yeast just stopping. Anyone have any ideas?
