My BRIX looks to be around 6.1-6.2 now.

I think the tool I was using to adjust the BRIX to FG was wrong. All of this information has helped. Thank you.

What was your starting Brix before adding yeast, something like, "13.2" or "13.4"?

Ok, so my hyrdometer reading came in at 1.008. Is that weird? Is the refractometer supposed to be that far off?

I actually didn't take a reading with my hydrometer. I will be doing that tonight.

My first reading was with a hydrometer and got a OG reading of 1.054. My FG reading was with my refractometer and it was at 6.2 Brix.

I didn't use a refractometer for my OG but my hydrometer reading was 1.054 or, from what I researched, ~13.4 BRIX.

I have tested the thermometer and confirmed it is correct. What happened when you used amylase?

Fermentation Stuck - Brew Fixes or Ideas to Restart

I have done 3 BIAB recipes and my FG has come in high on all of them. I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong. For this recipe I did a fly sparge and my OG was at 1.054 when done. Its now been 1.5 weeks fermentation has stopped at 1.024 (same gravity reading for 2 days). Should add more yeast, amy...

You got there bworek1 :) :thumbs:, Your hop bill differs form the orignal recipe. First hop addition is 1.0 oz not 0.5 oz. Also you have added in UK GOldings that wasn't in the original recipe. That is fine as long as they are conscious decisions. PP I wanted to change the hop bill a little bit to ...

You got there bworek1 :) :thumbs:, I have just written some notes on the integrity of the original recipe in this post . Some of that applies here. As for your file, here's a few things of interest... Always do a 90 minute mash with BIAB otherwise, for most recipes, you will need to use more grain ...

First off thank you. I adjust the information in section Y like you stated. Also, you stated that my grain totals were less than the original recipe. I am showing the opposite in section D. I think you mean Sec. C? This is because the original batch size is 5G. Yours is 6.12G, scaling up needs more...

Looks like you filled out most of it properly to me. - co2 volumes for this style are 2.3-2.6 (quick google search). Enter this in Sec H., then fill out keg volume in sec. Q. Then it'll spit out a psi number for you, which is close to 8. My guess is the 8 you entered is for psi. - You'll need to fi...

The guys will need a direct link to the recipe you are trying to copy.

While you are waiting for a reply, this thread that discusses recipe integrity may be of some help.

Thanks for the reply. Since this is all grain, how would this translate to BIAB? Is there a formula or a way I can figure out boil volume and mash temp.
