I used to have this amazing attention to detail. Then kids. Then retirement.

I think beer helps.

Hi everyone. I wanted to come post an update. I brewed the IPA recipe that I posted on here and it successfully went below 1.020 FG! It’s my first beer to go below that in months. Some tweaks that I made, based on suggestions in the thread:
- mashed at 148-150F, instead of 154F
- my LHBS double-milled the grains
- pitched 2 packs of yeast instead of 1

My OG was 1.072 with a FG of 1.012. So it did finish lower that I would have liked (recipe called for 1.017) but I’m still calling this a success.

Thanks everyone for this very helpful discussion. The next beer I’m brewing is a fairly basic English Pale Ale with a lower OG so l’ll use the same approach and hopefully moving forward I’ll get consistent fermentation results.

Cheers!
