I know there are MULTIPLE post about low FG's in these forums, but I have not found one they seems to fit this situation.
My buddy bought a Brewers Best Belgian Golden Ale kit and use my equipment to brew. This was his first batch. This morning I racked his to a secondary as I needed the primary bucket he was using for my brew. I quickly too a gravity reading and it is currently settled at 1.004. The OG was 1.071. Now, I should point out that I can't stand Belgian style ale's. The color is... what is should be (Straw) and it smells like it should. Any ideas of why the FG would be low? My Hydrometer is not cracked or damaged, so I ruled that out. The temp of the beer was 64, which is on the low side.....
Recipe:
6 Lb LME
2 lb Golden Belgian Candi syrup
1 lb Soft Candi Sugar
Hops:
2 oz Willamette
.5 oz Mt. Hood
Yeast: Sadly I don't know. I didn't keep the package.
Thanks for any ideas you can provide.
