Brewed a double pilsner...yes pilsner. Odells. Its a mess...Added too much to boil so gravity was low. Boiled longer to concentrate it but forgot I should add DME BEFORE boil, not after because of the hops. Now gravity is 1.074 and I want 1.078 and it tastes sweet and with a sharp bitter finish because of the long boil with the hops. Is it savable? Have not pitched yeast yet. Grain was Pilsner malt, Carafoam, Munich and a little Crystal to add some fullness because I had read a review of how it tasted like too much hop and alcohol! Hops used were Tettnang at beginning of 90 minute (ended up being over 2 hrs...my 2nd mistake after adding too much to boil kettle) and then Hallertau at 75 mins because we didnt realize we were going to keep boiling.
Is it doomed? too many dumb mistakes: mad:
