I can't seem to get the really high FG I'm shooting for in a Wee Heavy. I've only done two and the first used a bunch of Crystal malts while the second was essentially Pale Ale malt/Roast Barley with kettle caramelization (there was a lb of Honey malt in there too). Using Wyeast Scottish Ale yeast the FG of the FFT of this second batch was 1.026 (OG was 1.098), the actual batch is still fermenting. I was hoping for ~1.034 or more. I mashed at 157* F and had 3 boils going for ~2 hours then combined for another 45 minutes. Any ideas other than adding lactose to get my FG higher?
