5 weeks ago I brewed an IPA With the following extract/grain bill:
6.8# Sun Country Pale LME (4# of it with 15 min left in boil)
1# extra light DME
1# wheat DME (65%/35%)
.75# crystal 60
.25# biscuit
O.G.-1.067
I used two pkgs of wyeast 1000 headwaters ale, smacked the day before. I added wyeast nutrient @ 10 mins left in boil. Aerated by stirring and then shaking fermentor. Pitched @ 66*, fermented at 67-68* for three weeks, then at 70-72* for the next two. S.G. Has been at 1.023 for a week. I transferred to secondary for dry hopping this morning.
My question is, having had similar gravities after primary in 2 other beers where Sun Country pale LME was the main fermentable... Has anyone else experienced similar results when using this brand of LME? I've used different yeasts (1056, 1272, and now 1000) in beers with it and had similar gravities. Whereas with these yeasts in beers using say, Coopers LME, I get gravities in the low teens. Procedure being the same, I have to look at ingredients. Anyone else noticed this with Sun Country?
Thanks!
