We have family in town and was planning on cooking brats on the grill after we finished brewing. I was trying to finish the boil, get the grill going and get thje food prepped. So yeah I had too much going on and got distracted from the beer. I made a mistake on the second batch and forgot to add the last hop addition 1.00 oz Chinook at the flame out. I'm planning on adding them as part of the dry hop addition.

Here is the recipe which I got off of this site. I guess the question is: Do you think this will still turn out ok? I think it will be fine but thought I would get other opinions.


Recipe Type: All Grain
Yeast: Pacific Ale WLP041
Yeast Starter: recommended
Batch Size (Gallons): 5.5
Original Gravity: 1.084 (Actual: Batch: 1 1.084, Batch 2: 1.090
Final Gravity: 1.020
IBU: 81.4
Boiling Time (Minutes): 90
Color: 15.9
Primary Fermentation (# of Days & Temp): 7 days at 65º
Secondary Fermentation (# of Days & Temp): 14 days at 65º

I found this recipe on the internet somewhere, and I've made it in the past. If it's not spot on to the original, then it's pretty frickin close. I use pacman yeast to ferment this, but any dry or neutral yeast will work fine.

I brewed AB last Saturday and tried to follow CYBI's recipe (adding slightly more Special B as per Tasty's feedback). My actual SG was 1.069 and I used WLP001 instead of WLP007 as Jamil recommends. The airlock is still bubbling away today.
