Got a question for the big guys...
I recently upgraded to 10 gallon batches and I seem to be continuously missing my FG. What I have been doing is taking a 5 gallon batch recipe and just doubling it. Any problem with that, or should I be making adjustments for a larger batch?? I recently made a 10 gallon batch of Edwort's pale ale and it turned out 1.042 and it should have been 1.051. I don't feel like I missed anything in the process. Tonight I brewed the 90 min IPA from Scottland, on the recipe page and it called for a 1.085 FG and mine finished 1.072...i seem to be missing my FG by about 10 points. I followed the recipe to the letter. I'm stuck.
This seems to be a trend with me and it makes me wonder if there is just some tweaking that needs to be done that I don't know i'm supposed to do.
Thanks for any input.
