Ok so first off, my mash temp got a little high, around 165. I had wrapped my kettle in reflective foil and then stick it in the oven. The oven was off but I had warmed it to first. strike water was right and initially temp was at 153, but then started to rise while in the oven. Stirred it at 30 min, and it was 165, took the reflective foil off and waited another 15 min. Still at 165, took it out of the oven and set it on the stove top to finish out the mash. So overall it was probably at 165 for around 30-45 min.
Boil was fine, chilled to 68 and pitched my yeast. Original gravity was 1.052. Fermentation started, I checked after 1 week and gravity was 1.04. Ok so it's not finished, let it sit another week same gravity. I'm on week 3 and it's the same gravity. So it's stuck, I gently stir up it to wake them up and raise the temp to 71. Another week and it's the same gravity.
So, I assume that since I mashed too high, I don't have enough fermentable sugars. So my question, even if I add more yeast are there enough fermentable sugars to get it to the final gravity?
If I leave it as is and bottle, I'm going to get a super sweet beer right?
what are my options? besides the beano.
Here is the recipe.
73.7% 2 Row Pilsner Malt (6 EBC = 3 SRM) 2268 grams = 5 pounds
26.3% Wheat Malt (150 EBC = 76.1 SRM) 810 grams = 1.79 pounds
10.8 IBU Hallertau Pellets (7.8%AA) 8.3 grams = 0.294 ounces at 60 mins
3.7 IBU Spalt Pellets (4.4%AA) 10.2 grams = 0.359 ounces at 15 mins
1.5 IBU Spalt Pellets (4.4%AA) 4.1 grams = 0.144 ounces at 15 mins
Fermention: WLP029 German Ale/ Kölsch Yeast
