So I am curious about where my final gravity readings should be landing.
I tend to think I am having a reoccurring issue with stuck fermentation, but in all honesty I'm not too sure. I've made 10+ batches of different types of beer, all ales, and all extract with specialty grains. It seems like the darker style beers I make reach between 1.020 and 1.035 and most of the time end up tasting sweeter than what I'm hoping for. I've tried tinkering with my fermentation lengths, with and without a secondary, and I keep hitting right in this same area. I always ferment for at least a week and then start checking for a consistent gravity reading for three days straight so I'm pretty sure my fermentation is complete...
What do you guys think?
