Tried to search this topic with no luck. I have brewed several extract recipes lately that keep coming out about 7-9 points below my calculated FG. I have been hitting the OG spot on. The latest was a blue moon summer honey wheat clone with OG 1.061 & FG 1.017 but it came out at 1.010 (calc ABV 5.73 but actual 6.8%). This was using S-05 yeast at 68 degrees the entire time. Am I being too efficient when steeping my grains? I wouldn't think the steeping grains would change the gravity that much. I steeped at 155 for 30 min. Do I need to change my temp for steeping? Also, it seems I may have read about wild yeast leading to overattenuation.
Here's the recipe:
3 lb Liquid Malt Extract - Extra Light
3 lb Liquid Malt Extract - Wheat
1.5 lb Honey
7.5 lb Total
Steeping Grains
1 lb American - White Wheat (had to use torrified)
1 lb American - Pale 2-Row
0.5 lb Flaked Oats
0.5 lb Canadian - Honey Malt
Thanks for the input.
