I am attempting to make the Octo-Bourbon that is listed in the recipe section. Made it BIAB. 16.5 lbs grain, I increased it 10% due to method and I was shooting for an extra half gallon. Expected OG was 1.065....I came in at 1.070.
Expected FG is 1.011....I am at 1.026. IT was at 50 for 2 weeks. Now I am 3 weeks in. 5 days ago I swirled and turned up temp to 55 from 50. I think it came down a point or two, but not much. I have temp control.
I pitched 2 packs of saflager 34/70. I ended up with 6 gallons, 1/2 gallon more than called for. My extra grain allowed for this. Any other ideas on getting it down lower? The recipe didn't call for a d rest. But, if I left it at room temp for a day or two, could this help? Any help is appreciated.
I boiled for 90 minutes...munich, pilsner, vienna and caramunich.
Any help is appreciated.
