Ok, so this is my first PM. It's an AHS Sweet Stout.

#1 Hit my mash temps too high. Around 170.

#2 I cannot find the Lactose or the Hops (only calls for 1 oz)

Is this beer even worth seeing to the end? Should I just dump it now?

Well, you can get by without the lactose, and add it later to secondary. You DO need hops, though, to make beer.

Did you hop it at all?

If you hopped it, then of course you pitch yeast and see it through, you should never dump a beer unless you are sure it is infected...You never know what wonderful magic the yeast will go to the wort....I mean without lactose, then a stout is still a stout...just not a milk stout...SO what..

If you hopped it, and you pitched yeast you still made beer.

No hops. Cannot find them. I don't know if they didn't get shipped or if I just lost em.

I'm so stressed.

Is there anyway I can save the wort or should I just start over next week? It's probably not even worth it since my mash temps were so high.

Chill your wort and put it in a sanitized carboy with an airlock full of spirits. Hold on pitching the yeast until you make a hop tea and mix, then pitch the yeast. You'll make a killer Stout to have for winter.

so should I go ahead boil the wort for the full hour? I stopped after the mash.

How did you get the mash temp so high? Any mash calculator will get you very close.
I notice you call yourself Chef Chris but I thought a chef has all his ingredients and procedure before cooking?

haha, yeah, i'm no chef. it's a dumb name a friend gave me cause my last name is cook. I decided to just **** it and try again next weekend.

my mash temps were so high because I try to account for the addition of grains to lower the temp a good bit. However, that didn't happen. Live and learn. Thanks guys.

Tough luck about that buddy, better luck next week. I think they used to make beer without hops like way back in the day. Still drinkable I bet, may taste sweet or something I dunno.
