You can get a water report from your council, does it have a heap of chlorine in it? Maybe try what BT suggests and fill up your fermenter the day before so some of the shit evaporates out.

I take it your leaving your wash to settle for a while? Sometimes that last couple of points takes a little while.

Yeah mate I am just running one now that has been a month since I put it down. I checked it before I racked it was still 1.1. I have a good water filter on the house will tap into that and still let it sit over night to.

Yeah that is really sounding like water is about the only thing that isn't right there. Wonder if there is anyone else in your area that gets the same thing :think:

this made me laugh so much.

On the original topic though, Ive noticed adding the TP increases the SPG, so your sugar may be all used up but its left over TP thats giving you a higher reading...
