I've been brewing for a while, probably 60-70 batches, and for some reason my beers haven't been finishing lately. I'm lucky to get down to 1.020.
I'm an all grain brewer using a RIMS system and fly sparging. I usually get around 75% mash efficiency and roughly the same brew-house efficiency.
I use Beersmith, crush my own grains, have a temperature regulated fermentation chamber. What else...usually use liquid yeast with a starter on a stir plate, but even with re-hydrated US-05 I've not been able to get beer down to where it's supposed to be.
The only real change I've made in the last year or so is I've gone up to 10 gal batches. I have a 60L Speidel fermenter.
I also recently got a cheap RO filter and have been working on my water profiles, nothing too crazy.
I make IPAs, Brown Ales, Stouts, Rye-PAs, and lots of Belgian beers. Not into Sours or wild Ales so much.
Grain bill is usually pretty basic.
Any thoughts?
