I may know the answer to this already but I wanted to double check it so I can learn from the process.
I brewed this recipe but it came out very dry. I hit my FG 1.017. I tasted it tonight after 7 days of fermenting. I added some of my dry hops.
I think it was because my mash went from 153 down to 146 across the 60 minutes? Would this have made it dryer? Maybe it will get more flavorful/sweeter with more time in the fermenter?
Thanks for your thoughts and help
