Hey all,
Just finished fermenting an English bitter that had a low pre-boil gravity (Est: 1.049 vs. Actual: 1.042) and a low OG (Est: 1.06 vs. Actual: 1.053), but finished with a higher final gravity than expected: (Est: 1.012 vs. 1.096).
Anyone have insights into how this happens? It's not the first time I've encountered this.
I followed the recommended mash temp (150F with a 168F mash out), and fermentation (67F with a 3-day 71F diacetyl rest).
Cheers!
