The last few brews I have done (various types including lagers and ales) I haven't been able to get the SG down below about 1.010.
Is there a general reason for this eg temp?
I don't use refrigeration etc so brew at room temp (around 22 degrees usually - we have air con running) and have been making fairly standard k & K brews.
EG I did a Morgan's Aust Pilsener with a Ultra blend made up by the local brew shop ( Light Malt, Dextrose and Malto-Dex), Safale S-04 yeast, Brewcraft Tettnanger Hops.
Average temp was around 22 degrees using stick on thermometer (not super reliable I know but meh).
Starting SG was 1.022 (taken after two days)
FG 1.012
It sat on the kitchen bench for over 2 weeks (probably 6 days or so at 1.012) but wouldn't budge. Finally bottled and it drinks ok but I was wondering what might cause this.
Previous brews have ended up at 1.004 and so on.
Also last one I did was Morgan's Cortez Cerveza. Starting SG - 1.038 FG - 1.012
I have a Morgan's Blue Mountain Lager down atm that seems to be stalled at 1.015.
Any suggestions?
