Hullo! Need some troubleshooting / advice. Fermenting a Sierra Nevada clone with US-05 (recipe:https://share.brewfather.app/W7qNWBJf7r7Xk5). After the fiasco of last time (using a grain bill that was improvised and not well thought out), I was able to hot my OG (1.051) and after a lag of about 15ish hours, the yeast took off. There was a mini-fiasco where I had put the blow off (through the SpundIt 2.0) on my liquid line instead of my gas line (amateur hour even after multiple brews!) and lost about a litre of wort. Corrected that swiftly and fermentation was carrying on very nicely until it hit about 1.021 after which it has stalled.
For context - I am using a fermzilla all rounder with a 10 L batch (now 9), a floating dip tube (flotit 2.0) and when it was hovering around 1.022, I cranked up the pressure and it is now holding steady at about 3 psi.
The only thing is that where I live, the ambient is about 28-30c and so, I was not able to cool the wort down to 18c before pitching. I only have a basic immersion chiller and so I ended up pitching at about 25c. The temperature dropped to 18c in about 5-6 hours but I was wondering if this could be a potential reason for this behavior. I have noticed that I am consistently 10 points away from my FG (my prev. proper brew was a Czech lager using Novalager which ended up finishing 10 points above as well).
Any thoughts / comments would be most welcome. Thank you.
