I am unsure of what the OG or SG was for this beer.
I know the extract used was a mix of CaraPils and 2 Row Base Malt
So yeah...
Thanks for the help guys! I didn't realize my blunder until you guys all so graciously pointed it out. I originally brewed this beer with extract. I wanted to find out what exactly what was in the extract and then use those ingredients. I found out that the particular extract I was using was a...
