Im brewing an Orange Creamsicle ale from Austin Homebrew. And I have a (so far) FG that is 1.022.
The recipe is:
1/2 pound Maize
1/2 pound 2-Row
1/2 Pound Crystal 10L
1/4 Pound Briess Caraplis
7 pounds of Pale Liquid Extract
1 pound of Lactose
Used a Cream Ale Blend Yeast and made a starter prior to making this batch.
Stayed in Primary for 7 days, and then transferred to secondary. Beer has been kept at about 66-68 degrees. Took Gravity rating before I moved the beer and it was 1.022, and now 4 days later its 1.022 again. Recipe calls for a FG of about 1.017 range.
Im assuming that Austin Homebrew's 1.017 would account for Lactose... So im just curious as to why mine stopped, and whether or not that seems TOO high. My OG was at 1.064, recipe said OG should be about 1.062, so thats pretty accurate.
I swirled the yeast around today (gently), hoping it might get a little activity going.
Just going to wait it out most likely, but I wanted some feedback from the beer gods.
