Hey guys,
I'm on my second batch, it's in the fermenter right now at it's at 1.020 after 9 days. FG is supposed to be 1.012. This is the second time it happens in a row, that I stay around 0.08 point above the FG.
I think it's related to my mashing temp.
Mash temp was 154F, I had to reheat during mash because it was going under 151F. While eating (electric element on stove) I kept the grain bag in the kettle. I'm trying to find if this could cause some unfermentable sugar because of the reheating, the grain at the bottom probably got really hot and above mashing temp?
It could also be related to invalid termometer calibration, I just got a termapen so next brew I will rule this out if it happens again..
Here is my album on my brew process
Any advice to find the problem appreciated!
Thanks
