Ok so I brewed an oktoberfest back in august with an OG of 1.050 and FG of 1.008. I was shooting for 1.015. I just kegged it and it tasted a little light not very malty as it should be. This is the second all grain brew I have gotten low gravities on. The grain bill was
5lbs 2row pilsner
3.5lbs munich
1lb vienna
.5lb 60L crystal
I mashed at 152 for one hour. My thermometer is calibrated correctly. I pitched a vial of oktoberfest in a 2L starter about 4 days before. I aerated it by pouring back and fourth between two buckets then pouring it into my carboy. I did add a tsp of yeast nutrient. I did my primary at 56 degrees did my diacetyl rest at 65 for 2 days and then lagered at 35 for 4 weeks. Im not sure what exactly is going wrong here but I would like to fix it before I start doing bigger beers that need higher FG. Please help.
