Q:If my OG is around 1.050 and I'd like my FG to be as low as possible (lower carbs), is there a specific yeast or specific process I'd use to achieve this?
Lately my brews have stalled around 1.020. I understand I need to aerate like crazy before and especially after the pitch and ferment and yield at room temps (68-72f) for my ales.
I'm making an Elkhorn Pale Ale and using the safale 05, but have access to the Wyeast American Ale slap pack Yeast.
I use this calculator to see the carb/calories of each beer I make and I'm averaging about 25carbs and 290 calories per 12oz:
