    Water treatment for Extract with Steeped Grains

    Why is my actual FG lower than the recipe calculated?

    I brewed the NEIPA recipe linked below. Post-brew, I adjusted my efficiency so that calculated OG matched my actual OG. However, my actual FG is 1.009 instead of the calculated FG of 1.019. FWIW, this is the second time I've experienced a FG discrepancy for this recipe. Playing with the...
