My recent all grain batch of AHS Fat Tire Ale clone appears to be stuck at about 1.019/1.020 (after three weeks, gr hasn't moved in two weeks). Expected fg is 1.011. Apparrent attenuation is 61% (instead of 75%). I'm usually ok with my fg being close, but this seems a bit farther than I'm comfortable with. I've started searching and reading up on how to get a stuck fermentation going again, but then I had a thought. I checked my numbers, and it appears that my expected OG was 1.047, mine was 1.050. I also noticed that expected efficiency of 75%, but my efficiency apparently was 88.5%. So now I'm wondering if I just converted to much starch and the yeast just can't handle the excess. Do I need to try to get the fermentation going again, or should I just resign myself to a slightly sweeter version of the beer. FWIW, samples taste great.
Some other info:
-I used Notty
-My readings have been adjusted for temp
-Beer is presently sitting at about 66 deg F
Thanks all
