So I was on my 3rd batch of beer and I was getting a little "eh" with the specific instructions. So when I made my 4th (thread title) I decided to make some alterations:
Instructions:
6oz. Chocolate
1/2 lb Malted Barley
1/2lb Malt (forgot what kind, don't have specifics in front of me)
6.7 Dark Malt Liquid
1.5 oz. Bittering Hops
.5oz. Aroma Hops
Put fresh Mint in Secondary.
What I did:
7oz. Chocolate
3/4 lb Malted Barley
3/4 lb Malt
1/4 lb Chocolate Malt
7.4 Dark Malt Liquid
2 oz. Bittering Hops
1 oz. Aroma Hops
Fresh Mint boiled in wort during last 15 minutes (and will probly put it in Secondary too)
The final product was very thick (damn near oil) and took forever to cool.
Obviously its sitting in my basement fermenting away, so there isnt much I can do now, but when I jumped on here and read a "my beer kinda sucked" thread, I became very paranoid that I may have made a poor tasting beer.
Thoughts?
