I've done two brews lately. One is a Porter and one is an Amber. The Porter was done with a liquid Ale Yeast, and I did a starter. The Amber was done from a kit and I used the dried yeast (after I rehydrated it). With both of these beers I cant get the final gravity down to where the recipes say they should. I'm still .005 too high. For example the Porter recipe says that the finishing gravity should be 1.015, and I'm only getting to 1.020.
Is there anything I can do at this stage to get more fermenation and higher alcohol?
if not, what should I do differently next time?
