Hi All,
I recently made the oatmeal stout from Brewing Classic Styles as a 3gal BIAB. OG was 1.056, pitched a Wyeast 1098 with no starter (eh?) and it went to sit in my 62º basement. Tested it at 5 days, and gravity read 1.024. It was 1.024 again at 1 week, and then 1.024 after it sat for another week in a 68º room.
My FG is much lower than expected and I'm wondering now if it's safe to bottle given the lack of attenuation. It's possible that I mashed a bit high (156º rather than 154º) but would it cause me to be so off? I was wondering if I should just move to bottle after such consistent gravity readings, but I don't want to risk bombs if it's going to ferment much more. Thanks!
Recipe:
10.2 oz US Flaked Oats (3.0 SRM)
6 lbs 0.1 oz Pale Malt, Maris Otter (3.0 SRM)
8.3 oz US Chocolate Malt (350.0 SRM)
7.7 oz US Victory Malt (28.0 SRM)
5.5 oz Caramel/Crystal Malt - 60L (60.0 SRM)
5.5 oz Roasted Barley (300.0 SRM)
1.00 oz UK Golding [5.00 %] - Boil 60.0 min
0.25 oz Glacier [5.60 %] - Boil 0.0 min
0.58 Items Whirlfloc Tablet (Boil 15.0 mins)
British Ale Yeast (Wyeast Labs #1098)
