Ths is beer is very good but finished with a much higher than expected final gravity. I knew there were alot of unfermentables but was not expecting it to be that high. In fact, I was expecting 1.024-1.027. In hindsight, I think it was because there was not enough diastatic power to convert all those specialty grains.
not sure I can get to 15460 degrees
Try your best! Seriously though, 154.
