Long time reader, first time poster. Tried to do a search but couldnt really find anything like my situation
Brewed an all grain sweet stout on a thursday. Left town on that Friday morning and returned on Sunday night. Looked at the carboy, and didnt see any signs of fermentation. OG Tested at 1.038, though maybe wort temp was a little too high when I pitched, so I repitch at 68 degrees on that monday. Waited to days, still no fermentation. Called the HB store, asked their opinion, said to pitch dry and see what happens. Still nothing after two days of that. Dumbfounded, I took a gravity reading. Showed 1.010. Is it possible that
my OG was wrong and there where no sugars?
It fermented in less than 2 days while I was gone with little to no Krausen?
There was fermenation without even seeing it?
It taste sweet, and I dont really taste any alcohol but it is only 4 %.
Not sure if it is worth bottling, never had this happen. Any input would be greatly appreciated!
