I made a Brown ale OG 1.059 which ended at 1.021. When making this I underlet (filled my mash tun from the bottom when it was full of my grain) at 165 and ran my RIMS tube at 154. Used US-05 in my fermentation chamber set to 66F.
I also made a Porter with the same process that had an OG of 1.070 and FG of 1.022. But that sort of works
So with two consecutive batches made with the same process and both ending over 1.020 I don't think it's a stalled fermentation but a matter of mashing too high.
This is different from my normal process which is to underlet at 161 and run my RIMS tube at 152. These temps consistently result in FG ranging from 1.008-1.012
Q1: Is there any yeast I can add to the brown ale to dry it out? If not this will be the first beer I'll dump.
Q2: It is currently kegged and carbed (I know, I should have checked the FG first!) Is there anything else except depressurizing the keg for a couple weeks that I need to do before adding the yeast?
Thanks!
