It'll be interesting to see where it stops, a lot of my AG beers have had very high attenuation and have been almost too dry dare i say it, i think this is down to my excesive sparging times and not getting the runnings into a boiler to kill of the enzymes quickly enough. For this batch i had a higher mash 67-68 C instead of my usual 65-66C, i sparged slightly quicker and the runnings were put straight into the boiler with the elements turned on to stop any further conversion, im hoping this does the trick and leaves a bit more body to the brew :D

its hovering around the 1015-1014 mark, i'll leave it a few days and then keg it.
