So I brewed the 5 gal batch of centennial blonde but with all cascade hops. I did a PM version and hit my target OG of 1040. I just checked the gravity 10 days after fermentation and got 1004. That's 90% attenuation with Nottingham yeast. I fermented at 63-66 degrees for 3 days and then raised the temp to 70-72 for the remainder. My problem is the sample tasted like watered down bud light. In fact bud light probably tastes better. Is this because of the low gravity? I've never had a beer this low in gravity. The target FG is 1009, 5 points off. This was also my first PM. I thought this beer would be better than my extract recipes.
