so I started brewing beer back in April.
Not sure I Can call myself a 'beginner' any more as I've done 10 batches so far.
However, looking at my notes from previous batches I have noticed a trend.
In almost every single batch I have brewed has had the SAME finishing gravity. Except for a couple of Black and Tan recipes the finishing gravity of the beers was 1.012.
EG a Pale Ale I made had a Original Gravity of 1.054, but the instructions said it should have been 1.044.
Finishing gravity on the Pale Ale should have been 1.008, but my measured gravity (over the last 3 measurements, over 4 days) has been 1.018, 1.012, and 1.012. (all measurements have been temp corrected).
My fermentation closet is pretty consistantly 70 degree F.
Am I getting stuck fermentation, or is all good?
