So I was purposefully trying to make a low-alcohol beer - lower gravity than I normally brew, but then to make it not seem thin I added a good amount of crystal and caramunich for extra body and I mashed fairly high. I ended up (predictably) with poor attenuation - is the beer done, or is there more to go? (I know, wait a day and measure gravity again, rouse the yeast,, go back in time and do a FFT, etc).
Recipe:
Marris Otter: 87%
Crystal 40: 9%
Caramunich: 3%
Mash temp: 158 F
Yeast: Safale US-04 (rehydrated and pitched into oxygenated wort)
ferment temp: 64 F
fermentation: 1 week
OG: 1.043
current gravity: 1.016
ABV: 3.5%
Attenuation: 62%
this is the highest I've ever mashed and am therefore unsure if this attenuation is consistent with others results.
Thanks.
