I brewed a Sam Adams Winter Lager Clone yesterday. When I took my OG reading I realized I made a mistake somewhere as my OG was 1.022 and my target OG was 1.069.
After going through my recipe again I realized that I failed to buy all the grain I needed. The recipe was for extract brewing with notes at the bottom for all grain brewing. I knew the notes where there and replaced the wheat malt syrup with 3.5 pounds of pale malt, but I failed to increase my munich malt and wheat malt from 1.5lbs to 4lbs each.
My yeast is pitched and everything is already in my primary for 18 hours now. I have no airlock activity and no krausen.
I plan on letting it go and seeing what happens (I figure I'll just have very low ABV that, hopefully, tastes good)), but should I be concerned that there aren't enough sugars to get fermentation going? Any other concerns?
