My
latest pale ale (with juniper) came out very dry with WLP001. 1.016 final gravity. I used some specialty malts so it has body and is actually quite good, but this is the second time I've used 001 and had a pretty dry finish. The juniper berries might be making it seem dry too, not sure.
Also I scaled my pale ale and also an IPA back a little, getting most of the liquid boiled (I can boil about 3.5 gallons). I'm only adding less than a gallon now. I think the results are going to be better that way. The hops are certainly seeming to get through better, but caveat = small sample size.
