Hi All
Recently brewed a stout which was supposed to have an OG of 1054. My sparge heater was playing up though, so I ended up mashing for at least another 30 minutes whilst panicking about how to heat up the water I needed. Ended up with OG of 1062 - so I got another 8 points from somewhere...
This was an all grain kit (I'm just getting back into it) and states a FG of 1017 - I've hit 1026 and I think I'm done....
So my question is has my extended mash released unfermentable sugars causing my gravities to be higher and if so, how will this have affected the taste?
Just to add that I'm using a grainfather so the mash temperature was consistent.
Thanks!
