Hey guys, haven't been on in awhile had some kids, just getting back into brewing. made my first all-grain batch in like 2 1/2 years three weeks ago.
5lbs maris otter, 3 lbs Viecnna malt, 2 lbs munich malt, 1 lb crystal 20, 1 lb crystal 60, 1 lb carapills..
Overshot the amount of collected wort for bk instead of 7 gal in bk it was more like 8, ended up with about 6.5 in the fermenter. anyway, my OG was 1.046 in stead of target around 1.055 1.060 range. I figured its fine abv will just be a little low, but its been 3 weeks sampled after 7 days 1.024, 2 weeks 1.024, 3 weeks 1.024. I was under the impression we were going to end around 1.012 or 1.014.
pretty sure its done or stuck. I used WLP001. it came from northern brewer and was pretty warm when it arrived. I guess my questions are:
1. is it my yeast, should I try pitching something else?
2. What else could I do to get it down lower? I'm looking fir at least 4.5%
Please help.
