My buddy and I are on our fifth extract kit. All have turned or drinkable that many people we give them to really enjoy them.
To make a long story shirt our SG readings are always high and our FG readings are always high.
The beers always have the right amount of alcohol. (Meaning if it was .05 high on the OG reading it was roughly .05 high in the FG reading.
We've tried dry yeast, we've tried smack packs we even recently did a starter.
The last beer was a midwest brew power pack porter and once again the OG reading was 1.07 instead of the recommended 1.063-1.067. This time we added probably 1/4 of a gallon more water than the normal 5 gallons and the OG reading was still high.......
Is this normal? Are there any recommendations? How can I get this right?
