hey folks,
we're in the process of making a scotch ale, our second beer.
the approx recipe is:
8 lb extract
22 oz. various malts
fuggles hops
wyeast scottish ale
primary fermentation is down to bubbles every 2 minutes after 5 days. we took a hydrometer reading today and it's at 1.020. It seems a lot more watery than our last beer (IPA) did at this point, which scares me a little. we don't have a big brew pot yet so unfortunately we weren't able to make a large volume of wort. (i just got my mom's giant turkey frying pot, though too late...)
is the watery taste going to get better with age or did we screw up the whole batch? if we did screw it up, is there any way to save during the bottling process or something? thanks!
