Hello everyone.... this is my first post but I have been reading the site for a few months now... so take it easy on me.
I brewed my first batch in November, it was out of a starter kit, of Mountain Spring Imperial Light. I thought is was good though a bit "hoppy" for the wife. So I looked around and figured this time I would use DME instead of corn sugar to try and smooth it out. I was reading up on how much to use in my "brew book" and came up with 6 lbs of DME. Well here comes the question My specific gravity reading was 1.086 @ 77 F giving my a starting gravity of 1.087. If I am figuring this all right I could end up with a PAC of 11%.... is this right or am I missing something?? thanks for the input.......
