Over the past year I have been using washed pacman yeast. I boil water, cool overnight, add to the cake, wash, etc. I am on the 3rd generation and for the past 6 months I have had low final gravities. My fermentation temps are on the high side of the range. Today was 1.005 when I racked to the secondary. The beer has always tasted good but a little too dry.
Here are some examples
IPA SG- 1.062 fg 1.007
All Grain IPA SG-1.067 FG 1.007
All Grain Blond Ale SG 1.062 FG 1.006
All Grain IPA SG 1.068 FG 1.005
All Grain Black Rye IPA SG 1.077 FG 1.009 at racking
And today...All Grain IPA (2 hearted clone) SG - 1.061 FG 1.005
I have checked with three different hydrometers and I have used distilled water to check the hydrometers.
Could the yeast be the problem?? Any insight will be helpful.
