I brewed an AG IPA last weekend, and aimed for slightly higher mash temps, because I wanted to retain a slight residual sweetness. The mash held around 158-159 F for a little over an hour. I assumed with this temp, I would get some unfermentables.
O.G. going into the primary was 1.067. Hydro sample one week later was 1.009. I guess I was just surprised at how low it is. The recipe is posted below, and I used Wyeast 1056.
I guess this could just be a matter of my thermometer being off. Now that I have two thermometers, I will check to see if they are giving different readings. Any other suggestions as to why it got so low? Thanks!
