19 days ago I tried my hand at my first all grain.
Mashed at 155 for 60 minutes in my converted beverage cooler then batch sparged
10 lb pilsner
1.0 oz hop union Czech saaz at 60
.75 oz at 15
.75 at 0
Wyeast 2124 smack pack activated prior and then pitched at 70 and has been at 62(according to the liquid crystal thermometer on the side of the carboy) in my basement since.
Og was 1.050 which I was pleasantly surprised by. I took a reading today and its at 1.004 I checked multiple times and I keep getting 1.004. I thought that was ridiculously low. I was expecting 1.008 at the lowest. It is a bit dry and bitter.
It was my first all grain so I tried to keep the grain bill simple. It was also my first time using white labs yeast. I have never read about such a low fg in a beer before. Any ideas how that happened? Is it ok? It is not infected, and I know my hydrometer is good.
