I just put a batch of coconut porter into the fermenter a few minutes ago, and when I took my initial reading, the gravity showed 1.046ish (my hydrometer is not the best). Anyway, according to Beer Smith, I should be showing 1.053, I've included the recipe below. As I'm trying to get this to porter status and not brown ale, I'd like to see a higher gravity. I'm wondering if there are any adjuncts I can add after the fact to boost the gravity, like a molasses solution or something. I'd like to see the abv reach about 5 rather than 4.3, which is the projection if all goes according to plan from here on out.
Recipe:
6lb Muntons Golden Light DME
.5lb chocolate malt
.5lb caramel 60
.75 oz Brewer's gold
.75 oz Kent Golding
Did a boil of 3 gallons and topped up with 2.5 gallons (to account for boil loss).
Thanks for any help,
Zach
