Please forgive me if this question has been asked before. Why is that extract kit recipes tend to get stuck a 1.020 FG? I've brewed 3 extract kits and the FG have stopped dropping at 1.020.
More recently I brewed an partial mash-extract recipe and have had the same results. This recipe was based off an extract kit, however I used all DME in place of any LME. I realize the outlier is the fact this one was partial mash, but fermentation seems to be stalled at 1.020 after 2.5 weeks of fermentation. FG was right on target at 1.062 using BRY-97, but my target FG is 1.017-1.012.
Why does this seem to happen with extract recipes? Older ingredients?
