Stuck fermentation on a baltic porter

I brewed this beer 3 weeks ago and everything went to plan apart from having to bump the temp a few times during mashing to keep at mashing temp. I stirred well when the heat was on.

Ok, Majorphil, I think your presumptions are correct having rechecked my recipe. However, I think my workings (though by a different route) arrived at a similar result. I went back and used your technique then put the vaw in at 23. I then removed the 78.6 from the efficiency and set my desired VIF t...

Thanks MS and majorphil. I've trawled through the book and what I have written is as much info as I can get and its written with the same terminology used in the book. I'll have a play with figures again after work when I get some time.
