Hello all,
I wanted to get some feedback on why the FG of my American Pale Ale recipe came out so high. I am out of reasons. OG was 1.055. After 1 week gravity dropped to 1.032 where it still sits 3 weeks later. Tasted the beer today and it is not sweet like I expected, pretty bitter and very thin. All 4 of my thermometers are calibrated and read the same. Here's the recipe.
Recipe volume 5.5 gal
10 lbs US 2 row
1 lb 12 oz Crystal 60
6 oz Crystal 75
1 oz Magnum
.75 oz Ahantum
1 oz Cascade
1 qt yeast starter with WLP 001
Fermented at 68
Mashed 60 mins at 158
Mash out at 168 for 10 mins
Aerated 1 hr with aeration stone
Any input is GREATLY appreciated! Thanks everyone
