We just kegged an AIH Guinness clone (Gooder than Guinness) after just over 3 weeks in primary, and the result is a watery, brown ale - image attached. We are nearing 50 brews in and this is only the 3rd brew that has been disappointing. We missed OG by .06 and yeast got us to an ABV of 4.1%, which is fine but the result is watery with just a hint of what Id expect for style - the color is more of a weak brown ale as well. This is only the 4th kit we've used and 2/4 are disappointing so far.
Long story short, what can we do to help resuscitate this 5 gallon batch? We've saved a so-so doppelbock by pitching onto a fresh mixed fermentation cake, but any ideas here?
