Dry Enzymes

[Marshy211]

I used a strong pale ale recipe kit. 1.055 OG. Which is slightly above recipe of 1.050. Put dry enzymes in with yeast as I was suggested. Gravity now been sitting around 1.013 and looks to be done. The recipe says it’ll get to 1.013. 
 

question is, aren’t dry enzymes supposed to get the FG even lower?

Yeah should go lower than that with dry enzyme.  I would have said 1.002 ish

So what do you think the issue might be? Been 10 days in wort

Only thing I can think of is the dry enzyme didn't work for some reason. It wasnt an old packet or anything right? Enzyme breaks the unfermentable sugars down into fermentable ones. The ferment will go longer before it slows. Like in your above graph it slowed about 1020 with enzyme I would have expected it around 1010. What yeast did you use with the enzyme?

Did you take a hydrometer reading or just rely on electronic one?

I’m not sure. I’ll ring shop tomorrow morning. Can’t find recipe
