This is a Belgian Golden Strong recipe I recently devised. To those that have done Belgian Golden Strong's before, can you critique my recipe? The calculator I used gave me a 1.015 final gravity. I feel I should be lower so that I can get that dry finish. How can I ensure a low FG? There should be plenty of sugar in here for a 3 gallon batch. I used Brewers Friend recipe calculator. Perhaps its gravity calculations are a bit off?
