Hey all, first time poster here.
Had an issue come up when I took the FG of stout I recently brewed. It's one of the first All Grain recipes we've tried and the first we tried to add anything to the secondary. We added about 6 ounces of oak chips that had soaked in Maker's for about 4 hours. We left it in the secondary for about 10 days. We just bottled it tonight and when we took the FG it read about 1.040. The OG was about 1.060. We were confused/worried because obviously this means we we either did something wrong or that the beer is just super low in ABV.
We seemingly did the mash/primary/etc right, we got a good OG right where we wanted, but then the FG was way off from what we were expecting.
Any help/advice is GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks,
Zach
