Hey I'm working on figuring out my next recipe and I am trying to do a high gravity beer by getting my FG lower. I successfully made a 6.8% red ale by adding extra extract (was doing extract before but now mostly do all grain) and getting a higher OG. My FG was 1.010 which seems to be where all of my beers stop. I know that if I could bring down the final gravity to say 1.005 or something it would increase abv and leave less sugars in the wort at the end for a lower carb beer that is still strong. Does anyone have a way to do this? I have heard adding different yeast after my ale yeast is done can do this like a champagne yeast. will this work or has anyone tried it.
