Hi Folks,
I have read about, and experienced, extract brews having poor attenuation. Not so much as to render the beer undrinkable (if that's even possible), but enough that the beer isn't quite what it could be.
After four batches of being ~.008 off from the expected FG I was getting frustrated. I'm using rehydrated dry yeast (not Muntons). Before making the jump to liquid yeast and all grain brewing I decided to try yeast nutrient. The first batch using nutrient was bottled on Wednesday... and guess what? FG was spot on. :rockin:
Anyone else experience this, or done anything similar brewing with extract?
