Hello everyone, I started homebrewing about two months ago and I just began fermentation on my latest beer, a Belgian blonde ale from American Brewmasters(extract kit).
This brew has been in the fermenter since Sunday evening and after checking the airlock activity today I noticed it has slowed considerably, was very active yesterday. Upon doing a little investigation and checking the American Brewmasters website I just realized that they left out an entire bag(>1lb.) of light malt extract in my kit. I know it is my fault for not catching this sooner especially when the OG was so off but I did not even think about the possibility of ingredients being left out, I just assumed all the sugars were at the bottom of the bucket after having topped it off with water.
Is there anything I can do to fix this batch or is it pretty much 50 dollars down the drain?
Thanks!
