Hi,
In both batch of what I am calling a English amber bitter. I got a highish finishing gravity 1.02 and maybe a little more starting at 1.052.
I used pale DME and amber LME extract. I used Safale S-04 English Ale. I did the second batch because I messed up the first batch primarily because I did not aerate properly. (It tasted like beer and drinkable never the less) The second I aerated properly and the fermentation boiled like mad and blew off -- so I was expecting a lower FG. But that was not the case.
I am wondering if it is the S-05 or it is the extract having more unfermentables.
