This finished 1062 down to 1020 giving 5.6% abv,however it is quite sweet at 1020 and i think that's because i used S04.The head on this from the keg is nuts,i only gave it 24 hours on 40psi with no rolling,just crash chilling and it is very foamy.Tastes good enough but too sweet,another strange thing it taste very thick,i did an RIS before and it reminds me of that when drinking. ???
A successful brew but room for improvement my end,i will definitely be brewing this again,i think yet again my old hops let me down on this one. ;D
do you think it had fully attenuated? I've had S-04 stall on me a few times at 1020 but by gently rousing it every couple if days it usually comes down a bit lower.

No actually i think it probably stalled at 1020 allright,i took my FG sample but out it to one side and kegged anyway thinking it had to be done,S04 did that to me before i should have remembered. ;D
Checking back my notes i realized i mashed in near 70C rather than the usual 65C,i am told this would account for more unfermentables and hence higher finished sweetness and FG and also that it would account for the crazy foaming and head from the keg. ;D
