So my Brewers Best Saison has been in the primary for nearly three weeks, I took a gravity reading tonight and was a bit surprised that I'm missing the recommended FG and ABV by quite a few points.
Recommended OG - 1.048-1.052
My OG - 1.052
Recommended FG - 1.011-1.015
Tonight's Gravity - 1.006 ... Looks like I'm missing my FG by quite a bit.
Recommended ABV - 5.25% - 5.75%
Tonight's ABV Calculation (1.052-1.006)x131.25= 6.037%
Am I calculating my ABV correctly and what could be causing me to miss my FG and ABV by so much? This is a Brewers Best Saison, which I believe is their own version of partial mash.
The fermentation temps ranged from about 75 -85 degrees depending on the room temp. From what I understand Saison's are supposed to be brewed at higher temps.
The beer sample didn't taste bad but didn't have all the flavor I expected. Although it did have a bit of a kick to it and I could feel the affect of the alcohol.
Also wondering would the higher ABV reduce flavor?
