Good morning fellow brewers,
Upon attempting my first all grain recipe, I ran into a few issues.
Things I know I did poorly:
1. Malt Crush - First time crushing grain/using my mill
2. Sparge Speed/Amount - Way too fast of a fly sparge
Estimated Gravity Readings
OG 1.059
FG 1.012
Actual Gravity Readings
OG 1.047
FG 1.021
Fermentation took off great, gravity dropped to 1.024 after first couple days then stalled out. Raised temp back up since it dropped a decent amount and airlock activity stopped.
After temp was raised, activity continued and gravity went to 1.021 which it has been at for 3 days.
Is the lack of efficiency causation for the high FG reading?
Should I chalk it up, keg, carb and drink or is there still some saving I can do?
Any tips or suggestions would be helpful so I can improve my skills. Thank you in advance.
