Hi peoples, I'm trying to workout why I have not reached my required FG in my last two brews. I have tested my hydrometer and thermometers, and all are OK. This is my last recipe. It has been in the fermenter for 24 days. The yeast started strongly but after 14 days it only dropped to 1.037 and after rocking the fermenter for the last week and a bit in has only got down to 1.035. I was planning on watering down when kegging. It tasts beautiful.
