I am making an American IPA, and the problem that I have is that I'm having a really hard time getting the OG, the FG, and the ABV to "fit the bill" for the style. I only use dry yeast, and Safale S-04 bring my OG to 1.065 (just right), my FG to 1.019 (too high, and my ABV to 6.0% (in the range, but a little low). If I change to a higher attenuation yeast, Safale S-05, it comes out as 1.065, 1.009 (too low) and 7.3% (in the range, but high).
This is a partial mash with 4 lb Golden Promise, then 8 oz of Caramel 60L to steep and 6 lb of Maris Otter LME.
Any thoughts on what I can do to find the middle ground with my FG, here? I thought about malto dextrine but that increased the OG and ABV as well...
