I recently brewed an imperial pumpkin ale (5 gallons) that had an OG of 1.084. All went well during fermentation (used 2 packets of US-04 in fermentation chamber for 3 weeks, very active throughout).
I kegged, but forgot to take a FG reading. I decided to try to take a FG reading of the flat beer (I left it out overnight). My FG was 1.017. I'm not upset with this, but this is by far the highest FG I've ever had. I typically get most of my beers within the 1.009-1.011 range. The beer tastes fine, btw.
I did add a teaspoon or two of pumpkin pie spice and 2 oz of vanilla extract at time of kegging. Would that (or the gelatin finings) have any impact on the FG if I measured out of the keg?
