Hello
I brewed a 13 gallon batch with about 26lbs (Marris Otter and wheat and specialty grains) of grain to make a stout. Mashed at 155 for an hour and sparged at 163. Used a White labs british ale yeast in a one liter starter. Fast primary fermentation for about 5 days. The OG was 1.048, I think because the mash was high, I wanted the beer to have a heavier body.
After 10 days I got 1.020 while fermenting at 67 degrees. I got maybe 1.019-8 five days later and 1.018 five days later. It tastes fine and has a good body but I don't usually stay so high on FG.
Mash ph was 5.2 and I usually get 5.5.
Any ideas if I should do anything or why this stayed higher FG?
Thank you for your help.
