Hey everyone,
I did a parti-gyle brew a while ago and had some trouble. We got a nice 24.4 grav on the first half and it dropped to about 17.5. Needless to say its very sweet and pretty awful.
Is it possible to have cooked the mash at too high a temp to have resulted too many unfermentable sugars?
It was in the ferm for plenty of time and since I figured it was a bust, I transferred it to the second parti-gyle halfs yeast cake to see if it was stuck - no change. The yeast was said to handle up to 11%.
Thanks
