Hi, I´m new to this forum and its been a pleasure to read all o you. Last sunday i did 5 gallons all grain APA, it turned out OG 1060. I did a 1 liter starter with dma and a stirplate with S04, and pour it to the oxiganated wort. Fermentation started quicky and vigorously but after the third day y just stopped at 1030 (measured with refractometer). I know its been only a few days and that airlock activity means nothing but gravity doesnt seem que get any lower than this. If its done then atenuattion really sucks, i should get a FG of around 1016. Here is my question, I think i mashed in a bit high (160F), is there any way to know how much of these residual sugars are due to stuck fermentation or unfermentable sugars that yeast simply can´t handle. 15 gravity points seem a lot for unfermentable sugars. Thanks a lot and sory for my english, Im from south America.
