Low final gravity at 1.004

[darylwoodman]

I just got finished with a IPA that took forever to ferment. The SG was 1.063 and the final is 1.004. Wyeast 1056 is new to me. Has anyone seen FG numbers this low?

I did Mash at 149°F, so that explains some of it. I have no sign of infection--the beer is very crisp, light and dry.

Most of my fermentations end up around 1.009 or so.

As an additional note, this is the first time that I used my new stainless steel fermenter and I added 140B cells at about 65° for the first 12-days and cranked it to 68° for a couple more.

Cheers.

I had a pale ale/ipa a few weeks ago go from ~1.059ish down to 1.003. I think you just had perfect conditions for a good fermentation and now you have a delicious beer. -cheers
