Yesterday I brewed and American Wheat Beer using 3.3 lbs of Bavarian LME and 3 lbs of DME. I added 1 oz. Liberty hops at the beginning of the boil and in the last 10 minutes added corriander, 1 oz, Hallertau hops, and dried orange peel. Before pitching the yeast (WL CA Ale p001), I took an original gravity reading. It was 1.064! I tossed that sample, shook the fermenter and took another sample, it was still 1.064. I knew this was too high. I checked my hydrometer, it read 1.000 @ 60 degrees with straight water. What did I do wrong? Will it effect my beer?
