So I've always managed to get my FG down around or below 1.01.. The last 4 batches I've made I have not had a FG lower than 1.018..
Examples: Brew day 7/01/06 kept in the primary till yesterday 7/25/06
Batch #1 - OG 1.051 - FG 1.018 (Yeast Wyeast-1056)
Batch #2 - OG 1.060 - Current Gravity 1.030 (Yeast Wyeast-1272)
The temp when I started the fermentation was around 72F.. Just about the top that is recommended for both... After that we have had many days in the upper 80's and into the 90's... The temp in the basement has climbed to about 75 now... This is over the recommended fermentation temp for both yeasts. Is this the cause of this??
This is the first time I have brewed in the summer..
Thanks!
