Hey folks. So my last brews have only got down to half the gravity it could do... pitched my last 4 + brews at around 0.06 gravity. and it never gets past 0.020 even 0.030!!!
Pitching at perfect temperature every time, aerated the wort like crazy and then even bought oxygen cannister to give my beers the best chance possible!
mixed up a starter and also dry pitched.
Maintained a perfect temperature every time.
left yeast on top, mixed it in
Strirred the wort to see if it will get going again.
Brought the temperature up with a heat pad to see if it will keep going.
Nothing has worked.....
I am using safale 05 every time, it ferments perfectly after about 12 hours but then it dies after 3 days and absolutely will not get going again left for 3 + weeks after it stalls. Just will not pick up at all.
My last try is a second pack.... it's the only thing I can think of which might do it.... 2 x 11 gram packs for 0.060 OG beer.....
All beers bottled up and tasted lovely! but just annoyed I can't get these bad boys to go down a bit more! as the treacle sweeter taste is getting tiresome!!
Cheers for any ideas : /
