Hey brewers,
Done a couple of batches with 1335 seems to stall out at about 65% attenuation, the specs a say it should reach 73-76%.
1st batch, I tried all the tricks, swirl the fermenter, bump the temp up to the top of its range, ended up chucking in some s-04 at about 1.016 to help finish it off, it got down to 1.009 with the s-04.
Second generation of the same smack pack, 2nd batch, same upped the temp to 24c, swirling the fermenter. Dropped out at 1.015.
Pretty sure I did everything right, big healthy starter, aerated wort.
Got a couple of packs of us05 lying around not sure whether to chuck in extra yeast, or just settle with a malty 3.5% mid.. Tastes ok, bit sweet, only 25ibu, was aiming for a blonde/session ale.
Dud batch of yeast? Shame because I like the flavour profile it gives...
