I know this is a pretty general, and probably common question, but something i did not expect of one of my own batches...
I have a bo pils 17 days into primary fermenation (50F with WLP800) and it's still holding at close-to high krausen. I did a grav check and expected ballpark 1.020+ based on the appearance of the krausen, but i was surprised to find 7.6 Brix (1.011 corrected). This is 80% apparent attenuation by BeerSmith calcs (153F sacc rest).
I do plan on leaving it until the krausen falls, but i'm hoping it doesn't fall too much lower, as the estimated FG is 1.014.
Does anyone have any experience with a high krausen and apparent finished ferment? Or any experience with WLP800, if this appears to be a yeast issue?
