Hello All,
I am interested in one of the "Top recipes" I found on here called the "Earl Grey IPA". I attache the Recipe I put together based off of the one I saw. The OG is 1.063 and FG is 1.017 Which is at the edge of the recommended range for this style of beer which I am saying is American IPA, though there is German ale yeast. I am trying to understand as to what is the limiting factor here that will drop the estimate of FG down into the recommended range? If it is because of the complex grain bill, limited by yeast? I am just trying to understand why this recipe will end at 1.017 (I do get that the FG is higher than beers I have worked with in the past (pale ales) meaning the FG will increase as well). I have changed my mash temperature for single infusion batch sparge from light bodied to the edge of medium to change the amount of extractable sugars but in BS this has no effect on this recipe and remains the same FG. Other recipes I have made, changing this factor changes the FG which is common to know. Thanks in advance
