    Attenuation low. What is everyone doing to get good attenuation?

    Solid advice. The pH was only ever really low like less than 5 ~4.3 after the mash. If I don't use (five star 5^2) stabilizer (thank you day_trppr) it's really low after mash, and I can only imagine that in that doughy mash that the pH is low which was what was effecting my beer; hence, I...

I have done around 7 batches of all grain brewing with only 2 row base malts, and I can't achieve above 63% attenuation. I have read Gregg Doss's "Exploring Attenuation" and have...
