Hello all,
I tried to brew an IPA a couple weeks ago, but I screwed up the mash (mashed in @ 180 instead of 165 like I planned) and ended up with a 1.054 OG--a fair bit off what beercalculus said my OG was supposed to be, 1.067. It has been in the primary for 20 days now and the gravity reads at 1.016.
So will my beer be too bitter for the amount of alcohol that will be in it? According to the recipe, beercalculus says my hops should give me around 67 IBU. Can I boil up some candy sugar or something and add to primary to take the ABV up a notch?
Thanks in advance!
