Hey ya'll.
FYI, I have about 20 brews under my belt now...15 extract, 4 AG, and 1 cider. When I was brewing extract, I would always seem to be finishing very sweet and a lot of body, but with AG I have been mashing at 153 and I seem to be lacking body in my beers. For instance, I had a CIPA/BIPA that went from 1.080 to 1.020, but the mouthfeel is very "empty"
Any ideas. It seems that with a beer like my CIPA/BIPA, and with all the specialty malts, the mouthfeel and body should be much more heavy...also with the moderate mash temp.
