Brewed a chocolate hazelnut porter. My OG was 1.061 it's been 21 days in primary. Took a gravity reading and it's at 1.022 my expected final gravity according to beer smith is supposed to be 1.017. I'm a little worried it won't finish that low. I plan to leave it for another week and see if it drops more.
I was planning on washing the yeast, so if I have to add yeast I was going to rack to secondary and sprinkle in some notty. Is this a bad idea? I'm also trying to figure out why I didn't hit my FG. My mash got a little screwy due to thermometer issues and I ended up mashing high between 160-162 degrees. Could this have caused my under attenuation? Thanks for any help.
Cheers
