For the second time, I brewed a Pliny the Elder clone (the first one turned out great and FG was 1.006). For that brew, I used two packages of WLP-001, but because of shipping during the summer, THIS TIME I pitched two packages of US-05. OG was 1.075, I did not use a starter, it took off in about 5 hours, and was vigorous for about 6 days. I fermented at 65 degrees and bumped it 68 degrees to finish. It is 16 days post brew and I took a FG measurement with a hydrometer today before cold crashing.
First, let me say that there was so much trub in the bottom over the spigot that it is impossible to draw a clear sample. My FG is 1.015. Did the trub in the test tube affect this number? If it is indeed 1.015, I know a big effect on ABV, but what effect will it have on taste? What could have gone wrong?
Many thanks for your input!
