    Beers not fermenting down low enough

    Was not aware of this and I believe this was my error after using a calculator I've come to find out my beer is actually at 1.0065 which is perfect! Thanks for all your help everyone!

    Beers not fermenting down low enough

    Using French saison yeast. Don't think I'm mashing to high as I have a few thermometers that I use to check temps to be safe. I even added yeast nutrients with 10 mins left in the boil. Also the basement I have it in is normally a solid 70 degrees at all times.

    Beers not fermenting down low enough

    So I've done a bunch of all grain batches some ive done starters for and others I haven't but every time even if I use a starter it seems to stop fermenting around 1.025-1.020. I'm currently fermenting a dark saison looking for around 1.007 and it seems to be once again stuck at 1.020ish again...

    All Grain Belgian Styler Sour Porter

    oops forget the 8oz vienna malt not sure why i typed that. Secondly I'm looking for whatever sourness/funk i can get from brett seeing as this homebrew comp is a brett comp so I need to use brett for secondary. I think cherries is probably what I was going to use so that makes sense. Thanks for...

    Going to be brewing up a belgian style robust porter here pretty soon. The plan is to primary ferment with a belgian yeast strain that has yet to be determined.
