Brewed a APA last week, O.G. came in at 1.060, checked with refractometer, and hydrometer. Pitched Fermentis Safale US 05 that I used a starter on. Yeast took off in about three hours, bubbling about every second. This continued on for the 4 days, before slowing to about a bubble every 2-3 seconds. On day 8, pressure has dropped on airlock, checked gravity and got 1.004. Seemed low so I checked with a different hydrometer and got same result. This seems low, too low. Am I missing something, or is it possible to ferment that much down from 1.060? I had them get down to 1.008 - 1.007 before but not this low?
Just wondering!
