I made an all grain stout yesterday. I had enough grain to give me a 5 gallon batch of 1.050 wort. I did not have enough sparge water, and left some of the sugar behind in the grains. I ended up with about 3.5 gallons of 1.050 wort instead of 5 gallons. I was in a hurry and just thought to myself ok no big deal I will just make a three gallon batch. After I pitched the yeast I began to wonder about it being to roasty. I use 1 pound of roast for my 5 gallon batches. So since I had 1 pound of roast and only made 3 gallons do you think it will be to roasty? Thanks
Sorry, your stout is toast, burnt toast at that. More likely, in two months you'll be asking yourself, "How can I duplicate this mistake?"
