8 lbs - 2-row malt 1.7-2L
1 lb Cara Red malt 20L
2 lbs Honey Malt
1 lb flaked corn
some hops... mash 145F for 1.25 hrs
pre-boil gravity 1.054
Original Gravity 1.060 (after cold crash and into fermenter)
and of course my problem like always
final gravity 1.038
Done with refractometer
US-05 safale. 3 weeks in fermenter at 18-22C
This always happens to me... My final gravity is always way to high.
Volume is 5.5 gal into fermenter.
I like the taste but just not getting that umph that I like in my brew!
Any suggestions?
Thanks all!
