Hi
I have been brewing all extract with no problems... few months ago I started with all grain brewing and there are some major issues.
1. Bottled beer has no carbonation. I use dme to bottle. I'm not sure if the beer is too high gravity or what the problem might be. I have also been using a stir plate to culture yeast and I don't know if that might be an issue as well.
2. The Fg is way too low... all sweetness is gone in my last two batches. Here is what I did last time....
12 lbs 2 row briess
2 lbs briess carmel 40l
1 lbs amber dme
60 min .5 simcoe
45 min .5 simcoe
30 min 1 centennial
15 min .5 magnum
15 min yeast nutrient
10 min whirlfloc
1 min .5 citrate
Og 1.078
Sg taken after 11 days 1.008
60 min boil
Mash at 153 with 5gl for 12 he's over night
Sparge with 4 gal
Yeast white labs San Diego wlp090 cultured on a stir plate for 18 hrs
Fermentation at about 72 degrees
Your input is greatly appreciated
