Hey Guys,
I have brewed 2 TCB American Pale Ale Wetpaks over the last few weeks and I havent managed to get the final gravity to drop below 1019-1020.
Both brews sat in the primary for a week and a half and then were transfered to a corny keg to further condition before being either bottled or served from the keg.
These brews were made up exactly as the intructions state and were very well airated before the yeast was pitched at 20c. Both their sgs were 1048. One of the brews averaged 20-23c during fermentation and the other was 18-20c. After a week I took readings 2 days in a row and had 1020 so I roused up the fermenter a little and left for a further 2 days and still 1020.
What am I doing wrong ?
Ben
