I am still pretty new to brewing, as this is my 4th all grain, i've actually done my fifth already (an ipa that is almost done fermenting), but the fourth was a lager/bock so it has been going for a while now. my original gravity was 1.051 with a target gravity of 1.01.
It was fermenting for 2 weeks at 55' f before i took a gravity, which was 1.029 so i thought, i will let it go for a while longer and see what happens. a week and a half pass, i decided to do a rest, i did so and took another gravity, no change. The beer still had a very sweet taste. i did some research, and decided to add more yeast, and made a 1 liter starter, with some lager yeast from my last lager. the starter was healthy, and i pitched at high krausen. 11 days now, 1.028.
is my beer just doomed. (has very sweet taste still.)
5 lbs maris otter 2 row Pale Malt
2 lbs munich 10L
1 lb flaked Maize
1/8 lb chocolate malt
1 oz Centenial hops (bittering)
1/2 oz Libertry hops (finishing)
Wyeast #2178 Lager blend
75 minute mash at 160' - 166'
centinial hops at 60
liberty at 25
first gold at 5
any help will be appreciated,
thanks.
i'm very close to just dumping all five gallons. ( my first disappointment)
