I have a kegged neipa right now. I am not unhappy with the recipe, it seems worth perfecting. The target mash temp was 66C but it ended up being a bit higher, about 68 or 69. Fermented at a constant 22C. I was concerned that it was going to be overly sweet. I used Nottingham, and it's soooo dry. I wanted to use the same grain bill and mash but use different yeast. I didn't take a reading because i'm a rookie so i dunno what the start or final is. Is it because of the yeast? Grain or mash? I also added a teaspoon of gypsum and 2 teaspoons of Ca Cl to the mash water

Yes like yooper said OG and FG is important to see what attenuation you achieve without it you are guessing..But mashing higher next time is a good place to start along with measuring OG and FG
