I'm fermenting a Czech pilsner right now. My force ferment test shows that the wort is way too fermentable - it went down to 1.008. My target was more like 1.016, double that. Guess I should have stirred my mash better before taking the temp - that or trusted my math more than my measurements. Anyways, just wondering what people think I should do with this. I'm inclined to just leave it rather than fiddle with it at the eleventh hour (the main batch is about 2/3 fermented), and it should be alright, just a bit drier with too much bitterness.
But if anyone knows a good way I could increase the unfermentable sugars or otherwise improve this situation, I'm all ears.
If nothing else, let this be a caveat: make sure to stir your mash far more than you think is necessary before taking the temperature. It will fool you otherwise.
