    Any strange additions to an IPA

    Anyone ever added any late boil additions to an IPA other than hops? Any spices or sugars or anything else for that matter? Just wondering if they were just overpowered and covered up by the massive IBUs in an IPA?

    Low final gravity question

    I recently brewed a partial mash Blonde ale. My OG came in at 1.051 and estimated was 1.053. The final gravity estimation was around 1.013, but it came in at 1.005. Just wondering why that would be? Used Wyeast Bier De Garde to ferment.
