I'm wondering if all of you have AE thats not working. Those of you who didn't get it down to zero, what yeast did you use? I have always used Safale S-05.
Getting down to 1.000 is slowly done, I always rack to the 2ndary on top of AE after 7 days.
I'm wondering if the yeast has attenuated all it can or is just slowly chugging away. With mine it still pretty clean, after the first week. Its virtually clear as can be.
If the beer is down to 1.005 and the corn flavor is gone, then call it good. I think the AE knocks out that corn flavor.
I also mash low, 147F, and I also do the starch conversion test too. If I goes black I keep mashing. Usually another 15-30 minutes.
