2.5 weeks ago I tried my first partial with 1.5kg LME, some freshly cracked malts, Oats, Coriander and Mandarin Peel - Grumpy's Recipie.
First Problem was astringincy, although its getting less noticable with age in the fermenter.
Second problem, OG was 1.045 and has only fermented to 1.019.
Thought the liquid yeast I pitched might have died off short of doing the job, so I pitched a rehydrated pack of Safwheat yeast a few days ago. No change to SG.
Did I not get full conversion in the mash. Temp was mostly around the 66 C mark for a good hour.
Astrigincy I have put down to adding too much hops for a 60 min boil, but could also be grain husks?? Cracked them fresh on my new marga, which looked to be working well.
Not sure where to go from here, I have it in the fridge controlled at 19C.
