Sorry for my first post to be a question but I have a problem.
I am 4 brews in on my Grainfather.
1st brew Ok, possibly needed a more thorough cleaning before first use
2nd brew much better, remembered the protofloc as well.
3rd brew, realised that my water needed some additions (I use Tesco Ashbeck), a very good Porter, IMHO and
4th brew, I have hit a snag.
I have brewed the following recipe.
2.6kg Dingemans pilsen
2.4kg Flaked Wheat
0.2kg Barley Hulls
0.12kg Munich
*EDIT*
Mash:
17.2L @ 71c, mash @65c for 90 mins, 15L sparge @ 75c. 28l for the boil
60g Hallertauer Mittelfrueh
90min boil
Orange peel and Coriander seed
Mangrove Jacks M21 Belgian Wit yeast
I was expecting (Beersmith) OG 1.051 and got 1.050 post boil.
The final OG is calculated to be 1.009
Into FV on 2/2/17 @ 20c and left for 7 days (I was away)
OG on 10/2/17 was 1.018 with no activity so I upped FV to 21.5c.
OG on 14/2/17 was 1.018.
After hitting google I decided the M21 had given up and added rehydrated packet of US-05 to finish.
16/2/17 I have very little activity and OG is 1.018.
I will give the US-05 some time yet but any advice on next steps or what has happened?
