Hello all. I've just started BIAB brewing and am having problem hitting my gravity readings - specifically the post fermentation gravity reading.
I am using Brewsmith and generally get the Post boil SG about right in accordance with the recipe brew notes. I use the no chill method in the cube. When I begin the fermentation process I don't bother taking another gravity reading (should I?) because I figure it should not have changed in the cube.
Typically I use 1 or 2 rehydrated Saale 05 sachets into the fermenter. Fermentation is temperature controlled at 19deg inside a fridge. Vigorous fermentation starts very quickly and all seems good at his stage.
FG after 15 days at 1.025. Again today (day 17) at 1.025 so fermentation has finished. Other brews have been had similar results.
Any ideas, suggestions or solutions gratefully accepted.
To much fun, love and attention goes into the brewing for me to be satisfied with low or mid strength beer.
Cheers
