Well I don't know what happened but I was after a simple Australian Ale and the yeast got really hungry. The recipe:
BIAB
Batch size = 26L
5.5kg Pale Ale (BB)
500g Caramalt
20g POR @ 60min
CB Ale Yeast
MASH @ 64C for 60 min
1/2 Whirlfloc tablet @ 15 min
70% efficiency according to BrewMate.
OG 1050
FG 1005
The FG was supposed to be at 1013 but it got to 1005 which makes it 6% ABV which is 1% higher than it should be.
No idea what went wrong I hit all targets except OG should have been 1051 but was happy with 1050 (I really don't worry over .001 difference.) It is the FG that concerns me.
Any ideas of what may have happened here?
