My wife bought a brewers best Kolsch extract kit for me to make for her son's b-day, 3.5 lbs breiss dme pilsen1 lb breiss bavarian dme wheat12 oz breiss crushed caripils1 oz vanguard 60"1 oz saaz 5"I did a 5.5 gallon boil and came up just shy of 5 gallonsused the munson yeast that came with it,here's the problem, the o.g. was 1.043 (one point less then the bottom for this beer)9 days later and now at 1.012 for three days straight, off the final target by 4 points.so add more yeast to bring it down or bottle and serve as it is?

Serve it up. Personally I don't like messing with fermenting beer all that much due to chancing an infection. Now if the FG is way out-o-whack then maybe but your FG is fine, a little high but fine.

Thanks, bottle and cap then.

Looks acceptable to me. I say let it go, bottle serve and enjoy.

I agree, serve it up. No use messing around for a couple extra points.

When you transfer to secondary or bottle, you will drop a point or two because of the yeast, "waking up".It's all good.

didn't think of that, sounds good, T-minus 31 and counting and going all grain time.

You should send a few bottles to me for testing, just to be sure.

Do home brewers really do that, I thought that was just a myth?
