Brewed a Nut Brown a couple weekends ago. Was intended to be a sessionable beer with an OG of 1.049. My thermometer was somehow WAY off during the mash...LIKE 20 DEGREES OFF!!... so instead of mashing at 154, I was probably mashing at about 174...OG ended up at about 1.041 toward the end of the boil (which is actually surprising considering)...so added a bit of brown sugar that I had around the house which only brought me up to 1.046, but 2 and a half weeks into fermentation and I'M ONLY AT 1.030...
I'm assuming that mashing at 175 just doesn't yield enough fermentable sugar...correct? What a massive disappointment....down the drain this does...just not interested in a 2% beer...
