    OG a bit high and FG low

    Boy! A lot to consider here. I do tend to run over on the mash time. Also, I did recently change my DME to a pilsner variety of late. Will check my measuring tools for accuracy. Yes. I use US-05 on my pale and IP ales. This last one was obviously a lager yeast Thanks for the help!!
