I've used lots of ingredients in the past, including Brewers Best kits, always with the result of the FG being too high. My last batch used:

ALEXANDERS LIGHT 4# SYRUP
M&F-DME-LIGHT- 3 LB

Note that I have had the same results (final gravity too high) with many recipes. The recipe I have been working with lately is: 1/2 lbs 60L crystal malt 4 lbs light malt syrup 2.5 lbs light DME 2 oz Tettnanger bittering hop 1/2 oz Hallertauer flavor hop 1 tsp Irish moss 1/2 oz Tettnanger aroma hop ...

I'm using the Sam Adams recipe from the Clone Brews book which calls for the FG to be 1.011. My hydrometer is calibrated fine with 70 degree water equaling 1.000. I am using Wyeast, 100 billion cells in 5 gallons of wort. I just bottled my first batch made with pure O2 aerator. However, this made no...

My final gravity never gets as low as it should. When the recipes call for 1.010, my beer only gets down to 1.020 or so. I don't think it's a problem with the readiing because the OG reading comes out exactly as the recipe says it should. While the end result tastes great, it is definitely low in al...
