I am new to all grain brewing. I did a smash beer for my first AG brew. I noticed that my 1.048 brew worked quickly then stopped at 1.015, going no further. The batch is extremely cloudy. I discovered that my mash temperature probe was reading several degrees low, and likely mashed at too high a temperature. My suspicion is that I have a lot of unconverted starch. Can my batch be saved?
I was thinking of using finings to try to clear it, and possibly pitch some more yeast (is this required?) during bottling to carbonate it. Will this work, or has anyone a better idea to save this batch? Should I just put this one under "lessons learned" and toss it?
Thanks for any replies.
