brewed on 2/2/13, pitched US04 on a 1L starter. I made my gravity OK,
here is my grain bill:
8.0 oz Rice Hulls (Briess) (0.0 SRM) Adjunct 1 4.7 %
7 lbs Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0 SRM) Grain 2 65.1 %
12.0 oz Chocolate Malt (450.0 SRM) Grain 3 7.0 %
12.0 oz Crystal, Extra Dark (Simpsons) (160.0 SRM) Grain 4 7.0 %
8.0 oz Oats, Flaked (1.0 SRM) Grain 5 4.7 %
4.0 oz Caramel/Crystal Malt - 80L (80.0 SRM) Grain 6 2.3 %
1 lbs Milk Sugar (Lactose) (0.0 SRM) Sugar 7 9.3 %
Mashed at 156F for 60 min
FG into fermenter was 1.054... The only change above is the oats werent flaked, it was steel cut oatmeal that I mashed only, did not cook it first.
HOWEVER: my gravity is at 1.030 today ...i checked it on 2/10/13 and it was 1.030. It's at room temp (70-72), the yeast took RIGHT off when i pitched, bubbled for a couple days, and then stopped.
it's my first stout, I wanted a sweeter breakfast type session stout, and I'll say it's pretty yummy as is, but I don't want to bottle a ticking time bomb. Anyone have any ideas? Or is my beer just finished as is, and I should be happy with a 3.25% ABV beer, or is something drastically wrong and I should repitch?! ack!
i hate s04 sometimes. i just do. it always lets me down.
