Okay, ran this recipe:
Extra Special Bitter
4# Alexander's Pale LME
3# Munton's Light DME
1# Crystal 60L - Steeped 30 min @150F
1.5oz EKG bitter 60 min
1oz Fuggles bitter 60 min
.5oz Fuggles 45 min
1oz EKG 30 mn
.5oz Fuggles 15 min
.5oz EKG 2min aroma
OG was 1.060 (adjusted for temp), pitched Danstar Windsor yeast (rehydrated) after cooling, initial temp was 58F, was up to 64F within a day and 68F in 2. Fermentation started within 12 hours, high krausen in 24 hours. It has been 5 days since pitching and the fermentation has ceased in primary.
Took gravity today and it is at 1.020. 66% attenutation. Seems low even for this yeast, which usually doesn't do much better than 70-75%. Going to move to secondary for clearing, I just want to make sure that if this doesn't drop any more that I won't have a bunch of exploding bottles/gushers. Any suggestions on getting FG to drop more? I was hoping for 1.012-1.016 given the style.
Thanks
