I brewed a Bigfoot clone on 4/6 and got a post boil gravity of 1.090 (recipe estimated 1.096). I'm not that concerned that I missed my OG on this try. I could have boiled more vigorously.
I check a gravity tonight and got 1.030. Estimated abv on the recipe is ~9.2% but mine will be ~7.9%. I pitched 3 packs of US-05.
Any suggestions on what I can do to bring the gravity down a few more points to make this more like a strong ale as the recipe calls for?
Thanks-
PS- let me know if I need to provide more info. I posted this in the genera beer discussion first. I moved it here since I thought it might bring more discussion
