I'm rather skeptical of my hydrometer's claims of my final gravity. I made an oatmeal stout that should have completed fermentation several days ago. I ramped up the oatmeal to over 16% of the grain bill. I just used gelantinized oatmeal as well as a 90 minutes mash routine until the iodine test said I had conversion. The OG was 1.050 and on target post boil.
It's began to look like my FG is going to be 1.026, which leads me to believe that the load of beta glucans from the oatmeal has had an impact on the FG. I'm pretty sure the alcohol level is higher than what the hydrometer is leading me to believe.
What do you think?
