1.025

[Ster]

Austin Dry Stout.
OG = 1.058
After 2 weeks: 1.025
After week 3: 1.025

Decided to bottle.

What can I expect?
Probably more like a sweet stout?

Let it condition on the bottles for like a month. Should be nice.

 

[dpittard]

It will definitely be sweeter. Probably couldn't classify it as a dry stout, but it's still beer, right?

How'd it taste before you bottled it?

 

[unionrdr]

With an OG of 1.058,it should've gotten lower then that. Sounds like it stalled out. Did you try swirling up some yeast & warming it a little?

 

[duboman]

That's kind of high, only 58% apparent attenuation, my concern would be bottle bombs...........

What yeast, temp, recipe, mash temp or extract? Also, was this reading with a hydrometer or refractometer?

 

[jonnyp1980]

Change the name to sweet stout. Congrats I'm sure it will taste good

 

[Ster]

Extract recipe.

Used hydrometer.

 

[unionrdr]

Using a hydrometer is good,but knowing what the numbers mean is the key.

Why? The FG has been steady for a week.

Just because the hydrometer hasn't moved, doesn't mean it is done. It may be stalled out. I agree with the previous poster and ask again: did you try swirling and raising the temperature up incrementally? Anything with an FG that high could easily make bottle bombs. I am fermenting a batch now that after 5 days the hydrometer stalled, and I warmed it up to 70* F and my fermentation restarted. Not by much, but my FG did drop.
