I've been experiencing consistently low final gravity with my all grain beers (5 batches to date) Most of the recipes have called for 1.012 or so but my beers have been finishing at 1.005-1.006. Once I thought I mashed too high (158-160) so the next time I dropped to 152 but still the same problem. I'm still trying to figure out my efficiency so I didn't worry about it too much at first because i wasnt hitting any of my numbers. I was spot on with this last batch so I'm curious now.
The beer tastes just fine but I want to be able to do it "right". Any thoughts, suggestions? Is this a "first day material" question or will it require an in depth analysis of my process, system, water etc? Hopefully it's something simple.
I'm using a hydrometer to take my readings and using wyeast 1056 fermenting at 68 degrees, + or - 1 degree
Thanks
