Hi,
I've been setting up a brew in BS based on this recipe from BYO.com:
(5 gallons/19 L, all-grain)
OG = 1.102 FG = 1.026
IBU = 30 SRM = 60 ABV = 11.4%
Ingredients
12 lbs. (5.4 kg) American 2-row pale malt
2.5 lbs. (1.1 kg) malted oats
2.5 lbs. (1.1 kg) Weyermann Caramunich? III malt
12 oz. (0.34 kg) chocolate malt
12 oz. (0.34 kg) Briess Midnight Wheat malt
8 oz. (0.23 kg) roasted barley
1 lb. (0.45 kg) lactose
8 AAU Magnum hops (60 min.) (0.5 oz./14 g at 16% alpha acids)
Wyeast 1968 (London ESB), White Labs WLP002 (English Ale), or LalBrew London English-Style Ale yeast
The author has the FG at 1.026.
I've built the recipe in BS but the predicted FG is 1.048. I wouldn't expect them to be exactly the same but that's a pretty huge difference.
I've attached the bsmx file of my recipe. I've had to scale it but you can see the %s are the same. I've also had to substitute some grains but again, I haven't made a major change here that would account for 22 points.
To be clear I'm not saying something is wrong with BS. I'm just trying to understand why they are so different and why the FG is so high.
Thanks.
