Final gravity issue

[AZJoey23]

Hello,

Long time watcher, first time poster here. I recently brewed an experimental IPA, and the final gravity seems to have stalled out much higher than I would've expected. For the past two days, it has been been reading at 1.022, which is way off from where I wanted. OG was 1.051 on 9/4.
For a clear picture, my recipe/method was:
3 lbs Briess golden light
1 lb Briess golden light (added final 15 minutes of boil)
1/4 lb of of Munich malt, and 1/2 lb of crystal 10, steeped at 155 to 160 with amylase before adding malt and boiling
Yeast was EC-1118 for fun
This was a 3 gallon batch, and it's been chilling in the lower 60s (using water bath method). I just warmed it up to 70 out of concern it was maybe too cold. First 2 days were insane with fermentation, and it's been quiet since.
Any insight or advice would be appreciated, cheers!

Joey

How are you measuring your gravity? Hydrometer or refractometer? If refractometer you need to adjust for the alcohol.

I'm just using a standard hydrometer. It has worked fine, and it seems to be just an issue with my IPA. I've recently brewed a cream ale and a hefe, came out great and at the expected abv.

EC-1118 cannot eat some malt sugars. Your use of this wine yeast in a beer "for fun" caused high FG.

Thanks for the feedback. Guess I'll have to live with an accidental sessions ipa. At least it tastes good. Lesson learned!
