I went to the homebrew shop to get some grains and hops today. While I was checking out and chit chatting with the owner another guy was grinding my grains for me. I threw a 1 lb bag of carapils and 1 lb crystal 60 on the counter. Along with all the other ingredients. I paid and left not even realizing I never told him only a half pound of each. So, low and behold I have a whole pound of each mixed in with all of my grains!
It's an ESB 5 gal batch. Here's the original PM recipe.
3lb 2-row
1 lb marris otter
8 oz. carapils
8 oz crystal 60
3 lb light extract
1 lb dextrose
If I remove 1 lb of extract the gravities match up with the guidlines but i'm afraid it will be to malty.
This is how it looks now:
3lb 2-row
1 lb carapils
1 lb marris otter
1 lb crystal 60
2 lb light extract
1 lb dextrose
my IBUs come in around 44
Other than a lower mash temp does anyone have any suggestions?? or should i just go for it?
