Default Bone Head move of the day
So im brewing up what I think is going to be a delicious APA.

Scaled up to 10 gallons

22.5 lbs MO
.75 lb Vienna
.75 lb cara munich
1 lb victory
1 lb red wheat

Get my hops all weighed out. What I failed to notice was that i had already scaled up my recipe in promash and didnt do it to the hops

DOAH!!!!

Nope, have done nothing to it yet.

It has an IBU of 26.5 instead of the 41 I was shooting for.

The sample i tasted before i pitched yeast was fairly bitter so that should be ok, but, i will have to dry hop the crap out of it.

all should be ok, just thought i would share something that should have been so simple to avoid.

Heh, I only had one beer all brew session too

Might this be a place to try adding a hop tea at secondary?

It would be, but at this stage in my brewing career I am more concerned with repeatability, making a hop tea is not something i want to get started doing all the time.

I will chalk this up to a brain fart and see what happens.

So,
How are you going to get your brain to fart repeatably?

We'll just call it a really exotic marzen.

LOL, well, if it has some hop aroma and a slight caramel flavor and no bitterness i think i may have just cloned the American Ale
