Hi all- I'm requesting input on possible help with my first AG batch. I was low on OG (1.055 instead of .065) due to MLT false bottom creating a side channel and I had to relauter with some runnings. Also, the mash out water addition never raised the temp to 168 as per calculations. 170 sparge water was likely low too. So-- suffice it to say I boiled my 6.5 gal and had low OG as me tioned.
Now after a week of fermentation, I am down to 1.010 which equates to 5.9% ABV-- which I am fine with.. But after tasting, it tastes a little thin and perhaps watery. SWMBO thinks its ok but I'm concerned.
Is there a way to fix this or will carbonation help?? Maybe adding more sugar in secondary??
Any help would be appreciated.
