Hi all, been a long time since i last posted here.
I have recently started brewing again and decided to put together a cream ale.
Anyhow 2 weeks after pitching the yeast i decided to check the gravity and was amazed that it had only cranked doen to 1.018.
The recipe was very basic with 3kg of pilsner malt, 1kg of flaked corn and .5kg of flaked rice which was mashed at 150f for 90mins.
Og was watered down to 1.048.
This is a 23ltr batch and i used 2 packs of us05, would have thought that after 2 weeks it would be lower then 1.018, but it has held there for 2 days solid.
Any thoughts?
Cheers
Matt
