I have posted previously re the above about 5 months ago, same brew, same problem. It is a Brown Ale recipe where the FG is 1.019 ( last brew finished 1.022) when the expected is 1.009. SG checked with calibrated hydrometer and waited 30 mins to take reading for all bubble minor activity to be gone Same grain bill, same small batch size of 12 litres, using same yeast of Wyeast 1275, OG was on target, fermentation slowed after 3 days and then increased temp from 16.5 to 21 deg C for diacetyl rest. 10 days later, FG as above, so gave everything a good stir and shake to waken up the yeast. Checked again 3 days later, same FG. Then added another yeast starter (same variety) after stirring and purging upper fermenter space with CO2. Checked again 4 days later no change, FG per the above, wort was clear, all yeast had dropped Given the higher than predicted FG and lack of any further activity decide to Keg instead of bottles. Fermentation carried out in Bar fridge at controlled temperatures.
My cleaning regime is good and has been the same since re -commencing brewing 18 months ago.
Equipment is a Grainfather Connect and have cross checked all expected specific gravities by double entering recipes on both BS3 and Grainfather Community recipe site.
Is there something I've missed. Dud yeast???
It appears only to be this recipe and yeast combination but it is the beer my wife looks forward to each week.
Any suggestions much appreciated
