I don't think this is much of a problem, but I want to be sure.
The FG's for my last two brews have been 1.016. I checked both batches over a period of 2-3 days to make sure fermentation was completed. Also, one batch was only 3 gallons, and I used a 1 liter starter of WLP001, so I know there was enough yeast.
This FG, although not too bad, still seems a bit higher than the 1.010-1.014 that most recipes call for. Is there any particular reason for this? Also, is this a problem that could cause bottle bombs?
