Hi there,
I made my beer at 16/01/2019 with an 1,121 o.g., and when i checked the s.g. after 13 days it was about 1,041-1,042. Temperature stayed at 18-19 C most of the time.
So, today, after 60 days of fermentation i thought that gravity should be down to about 1,035s, and i can bottle the beer. But, when i checked the gravity with a hydrometer, there was nearly no change after my previous s.g, it stayed at 1,040.
So, is it about amount of unfermentable sugar, or fermentation temp./yeast, or anything else ?
Also, there is not any sign of infection. Its look, and taste pretty normal.
I used 2 package Us-05, without starter. Batch size about 18,5 liters.
And here is the list of fermentables:
11.6 kg German - Pale Ale 78.4
0.79 kg German - CaraAroma 5.3%
0.4 kg German - CaraFoam 2.7%
1 kg German - Carafa III 6.8%
0.675 kg German - Carafa II 4.6%
0.25 kg German - CaraRye 1.7%
0.075 kg German - Melanoidin 0.5%
Thank you.
