Hello Brewing Friends,
A few weeks ago I brewed a Doppelbock in my Braumeister 10 L. I used 2,8 kg of malt and 0,5 kg of DME which gave me an OG 1,078. I fermented with Saflager S-23 and after 3 weeks of fermentation around 12-15°C I got a disappointing FG of 1,024. I still bottled the beer but it tastes sweet and lacks CO2.
What went wrong ? Would the FG have lowered more if waiting a few weeks more ? Could it be the DME ?
I have never had this issue before, but it's my first high gravity lager brew.
