Recipe
Steep...
8 oz. Chocolate
8 oz. Munich
60 min. boil...
6.6 lb. Wheat LME
1 lb Maltodextrin
.5 oz. bittering hops
1 lb honey
15 min. boil...
1 oz. flavoring
Being nervous as **** to keep the yeast hydrating properly and the wort cooling, I forgot to take an OG reading, but the FG after 1 week in primary is 1.020. The honey wasn't part of the recipe but I liked the idea. Also, I skipped adding about 1/4 gallon of water because of how much trub I avoided transferring, so there was about 4.75 in the primary.
It's a Brewer's Best Dunkelweizen kit, and it says the OG should be between 1.049 and 1.053. I figured that the honey might add a bit to that, but 1.020 seems a little high. I was planning on getting a carboy this week and maybe transferring to secondary, so my question is whether or not to pitch some more yeast. I know I should have left it alone for another week, but I couldn't help myself. Thanks for your input.
