So far I've done 3 all-grain batches. An amber, an IPA, and a Kolsch. All three have had the correct OG but the final gravity on all 3 batches came to 1.003/4 !!?!
All of the batches taste completely as expected but are hella-dry.
I've verified at the LHBS that my hydrometer is correct.
Two of the batches used 1.25qt water/lb. The IPA used 1.7qts/lb because my mash temp was low at first and I had to add some hot water to bring it up.
With the Kolsch, I intentionally let the mash rest at 160 degrees for 60 min to see if that thickened it up at all; didn't matter, I still got 1.004.
WTF is going on here? Do I have some sort of Super-Ultra-Mega Yeast lurking in my house?
