Hi All,
First Post, First Problem.
We made our first all-grain batch recently (BIAB). It was a very basic summer Citrus Blond Ale OG target was 1.050, actual was 1.055
Our FG should have been about 1.010 according to the recipe, but is stuck at 1.018. We used US-04 yeast (rehydrated, no starter) and the fermentation never really took off. It was also way to warm during the first few days.
Anyway, after about 12 days the wort looks like this, which I am not sure if it is okay or not, it looks a bit chunky.
It looks good in the thief though:
Let me your thoughts please. Right now I'm leaning towards cold crashing it and bottling it up.
It tastes ok, if a bit weak, which is okay as it was made for the wives.
Thanks!
