Hi All,
I have just brewed my second batch of beer ever and have yet again ended with SG/FG of 1.020. I have read this is a common problem/occurence with new brewers, people have told me I can add honey to the wort etc to raise the alcohol level but I don't think I should have to do that. I have used recipes with grain and LME each time. Each recipe was a pale ale with an OG around 1.045 and ending at 1.020 each time. I want a Pale ale with at least 5% ABV. How can I change this occurence? It's kind of frustrating, I am new to this, but I can't find much info on it so far. Any help and or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
