Hi,
I keep having an issue with not hitting my final gravity. I brewed an ale the other day, recipe was as follows:
8# American 2-row
1# Munich
1/2# CaraPils
1/2# Crystal 40*L
1oz. Cascade pellets (7.1%) at 60 mins left.
1/2 oz. Crystal (4.1%) at 15 mins left.
1/2 oz. Crystal (4.1%) at 5 mins left.
US-05 11.5 gram packet.
5 days at 72* primary fermentation.
OG: 1.045
FG: 1.006!!!
This is the third batch in a row with this problem!
I got a better thermometer (digital probe) after the second f@#k up and the same thing still happened. Am I reading my hydrometer wrong?! Does it need to be calibrated? Is that even possible? Please help!!
