happy hillbilly
Master Brewer
ole happy here. I been stockin up on my supplies of pale ale lately n come across a peculiarity. I always go with us-05 in my pale ale n generaly mash at 150 but for some reason the last few batches (24 gallons) have been fermentin down to 1.002 - 1.004. My usual o.g. is 1.048- 1.050 n I try to keep my abv around 5 or less but lately them yeasties have been workin theyre arses off! I have been takin my mash temp up slowly to get a little more body n less abv but with no avail. The last batch was mashed at 154 n still went to 1.002. Now ole happy aint one to complain bout a little more juice but i kinda like a bit more body in my pale ale. Hey dont know iffin i thanked ya'll for the chats so thanks. Happy Brewin
