Hey, what a Surprise, Another One Finished High!

[TexLaw]

That sounds like a fine FG, actually.

By "adjuncts," do you mean unfermentables (like crystal)? If so, that certainly would raise your target FG.

Yeah, I'm pretty happy with it myself...I was just listening to JZ over the weekend and he was talking about how, with higher-OG beers like RIS's, you actually want a lower FG than you would expect. I'm not quite sure I entirely buy his logic. The BJCP guidelines say 1.018-1.030 for the FG, so while I'm at the high end, I'm still there.

Yeah, adjunct grains. Like-a-so:

pitch it again with some yeast food.

my post is probably irrelevant because I thought this was a one page thread and missed 2-4. woops.

Maybe you should try making some of that weed beer. Then it's ok if it finishes high.











Sorry...couldn't resist.

Hey, why couldn't the weed farmer stop the cows from eating his crops? The steaks were too high! :cross:
