Any common cause for this? Every brew I've made is coming out too sweet. To date I've done an IPA (the sweetness was kind of good), a Dubbel (way too sweet), a Stout and a Porter (stout is overpowering sweetness, porter is more bearable). I've had 2 hit their FG and OG, and the other 2 didn't make it all the way down to the correct FG.
Ingredients have come from 3 different places.
All were liquid or dry extract.
Fermentation temps were higher than I would have liked (around 72-74 ambient temp).
I'm brewing up a strong dark ale this weekend, my plan is to add half the extract at the end, and to make a swamp cooler to get the fermentation temp down. Any other advice on what to try?
