How low do you get your beers in FG?
My beers seem to always end at 1.010 or higher. Most often 1.012, some times 1.014.
The same result when going to Lagers, using San Francico Lager yeast (WLP810) as on my last ales using WLP001 (American Ale yeast, like US-05).
My English Mild using WLP002 (English Ale) end even higher on 1.014 but that I expected.
But my Lagers and Ales now end 1.012 to maybe 1.010, never below 1.010.
My mash temperatures are about 65-66, mashing for 60 mins before doing a mash-out. (the lager at 64-65)
Fermented the ales at 17-18 and the lager at 12-13 degrees.
I don't seem to get below FG 1.010 doing all grains.
How are others doing, anyone else who with process alone can get lower than this, more like a commercial beer?
The one I have in the fridge bubbling away at 10 degrees, I added 0.4 kg of cane sugar to try lightening the body, will see how that goes.
What is your normal FG?
thanks
