I brewed my first beer, a honey witbier extract kit 4 weeks ago and I am getting ready to bottle this weekend. After boil I separated one gallon of the wort and then after 3 days of fermenting I added about 12 oz of honey to that one gallon, so I now have 4 gallons of regular and one gallon with extra sugar (honey) added. I took gravity readings last night. The four gallon batch read at 1.006 and the one gallon batch read at 1.010. Both seem very low as I would expect a FG on the four gallons to be around 1.010-1.012 as stated on the recipe. I would also expect the batch that I kicked up with extra sugar to be much higher. To note, I did rack both batches to secondary fermenters after 7 days. I tasted last night after taking the readings and both beers taste fantastic (a little buttery though). Any help, advice, information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
