I have noticed the last several batches not finishing well. Previously, we have been able to finish our ales at 1.011. The last 4 have not gone below 1.018.
Beersmith estimate them to be in the low teens.
Nothing has changed as far as technique, and we have used different yeasts with each one.
I typically leave the beer in the primary for 10 days, check and move to carboy.
I remembered that I had replaced my hydrometer a few weeks ago, so I checked it in water and came up with 1.005. Shouldn't that be 1.0000?
If so, does that mean the hydormeter is out of calibration?
BTW, we have been hitting our OG estimates.
