I started this thread yesterday in the "general" catagory, but got almost nothing in response, so I thought I'd try it here.
I have a batch of washed Cry Havoc that I used to make two AG batches of Pale Ale.
The first batch I made with Marris Otter, I used yeast nutrient in the starter, and had a target FG of 1.017. It finished at 1.026 !
The other batch, the exact same ale, only with 2-Row pale malt (and I forgot the yeast nutrient in the starter), also had a target FG of 1.017, and it wound up finishing at 1.020. Granted, that's only 3 points off, but I've never finished THIS far off before, and I'm equally amazed at the discrepancy between the two FG's.
My OG's were only one and two points off.
Does anyone have ANY idea how/why this happened ???
