My last couple of all grain brews have ended up with very low fg readings. The batch below ended up with 1.001 fg!
4 kg commander (an Australian pilsener type grain)
fuggles 15g at 60 mins
fuggles 8g at 15mins
fuggles 5g at 5mins
water/grain ratio 2.6 litres/kg
mash 66 deg C for 45 minutes
vorlauf
batch sparge at 78 deg C
boil for 60 mins
wyeast 1335 british ale II
sg = 1.055 (actual)
fg = 1.001 (actual), 1.014 by initial design
I have read somewhere that the high attenuation is strongly linked to mash times?
The beer is very dry and some of the good malty flavours are lost
ideas to prevent such low fg's?
