I brewed the "hoppiness is an IPA" recipe from brewing classic styles 3 weeks ago.
the grain bill is as follows
1lb crystal 15l
.25lb crystal 40l
9.75 lbs of light LME
.5 lbs of Munich LME
the recipe states the og should be 1.065 (I got 1.066) and the FG should be 1.012.
I fermented at the suggested 67 degrees and used a 1.6L stirred starter.
SO my question is, why is my fg only at 1.020 3 weeks later? I took a reading last saturday, gently rocked the carboy and raised the temp to 72 degrees. It has been sitting at 72 since saturday and I took another reading just now and it is still at 1.020.
please help
