I just kegged a blonde ale and it finished at 1.002. I calculated an approximate apparent attenuation of 95%.
I'm looking for some advice on what might have gone sideways to bring this beer so low and dry.
Too much 2 row?
Too low mash temp?
Probobly a combination of several factors.
Recipe:
Batch Size: 5.50 gal
Boil Size: 7.00 gal
Boil Time: 60 minutes
Efficiency: 70%
Pre-boil gravity: 1.037 (Target was 1.038)
OG: 1.047 (Target was 1.044)
FG: 1.002 (Target was approx. 1.008)
7.70 lb Pale malt 2 row
0.83 lb Carapils
0.55 lb Crystal 10L
0.55 lb Vienna malt
0.28 oz Centennial (55 min)
0.28 oz Centennial (35 min)
0.28 oz Cascade (20 min)
0.28 oz Cascade (5 min)
Yeast: WLP 001 Cal Ale (1L starter)
Single infusion batch sparge in 10 gal rubbermaid with false bottom
Mashed at 150 for 60 minutes
Thanks for any feedback out there. I'd like to brew this again this summer.
