I was cooking up a batch of muntons old ale..I have been useing their kits till i get used to brewing again..getting ready to go grain next time around...well here's what happened...i get the kit and they usually call for 3 lbs of DME..well the bags of DME are 3.3 pounds..but who cares i like strong beer...so i add the can of extract and get it heated up...then i slowly start to add all the DME then i finnaly start to read the instructions...oh sh##t..only brews 6 1/2 litres...i just added enough DME to run a alcahol dragster!...i added enough water to make the 6 1/2 litres....OMG!!!! Hydrometer allmost jumped out of the tube...ok so i figured i'd just add water to get the OG. to 1064 where it's supposed to be which turned out to be around 4 gallons total...figured i'd at least give it a chance to turn into something weather it was drinkable of not..well i put it in the primary and after 3 days i went to secondary carboy and let it sit for 4 days and SG was 1020..so i kegged it and i have to let it sit for a minimum of 4 weeks...by the way i took a rather large sample ...well around a pint..chilled it in the freezer..and guess what it's grrreat!....i guess sometimes mistakes can't allways be bad ones...i'm a typical man put it together then read instructions..i guess not all kits make 6 GAL..at the moment i allready have 5 gallons of pilsner in a keg thats 2 weeks old i am dieing to drink but i need the black ball lock fittings which i ordered a week ago which i found out were shipped on 6/6/06...just my f##king luck !!!i hope i'm getting them friday i'm haveing a party and i hope i'll have some real beer to serve and not just some skunk water from the drive through!!!
