  When my FG comes out lower than expected, it's usually because I had trouble maintaining my
  mash temps. Lower temps usually makes a more fermentatble wort, and so a lower FGThis ^^I would
  ensure your ...

  Okay that makes sense. For the rolled oats, is a single step infusion fine? Do I need to grind
  the oats up at all prior to the infusion (ei, make them more like quick oats)?I'm sure someone
  will corre...

  Does anybody know if using oak that has been kilned? I have some left over scraps of white oak
  hardwood flooring (not the prefinished type) that I was interested in shaving and adding to the
  secondary...

  Sorry, I wasn't that clear about the temps. The mash water is @ 170, yielding a mash temp of

  the entire ran...

  what the cause of the flavor would be. I am back and forth between 2 potential causes:1. Low
  mashing temp...

  I was just adding a wooden collar to an old freezer to convert it to a keezer - I was adding
  some mending plates to the inside of the freezer and all of a sudden... a hiss. I have tried to
  plug it - t...

  Just to re-iterate the points above - I have been having the same issue - my beers finish lower
  than expected, and my process was almost identical to the one initially described. Checked my
  hydrometer...

  A previous Coors brewmaster posted a recipe for a Blue Moon clone - sounds like your wife might
