Last Sunday I brewed a Founders Breakfast Stout clone. Problem #1 is that my efficiency was off. OG was supposed to be 1.078 but I wound up with 1.060. Wasn't so worried...it'll still drink. Right?
Just now I was taking a shower and doing a mental inventory of the hops I have on hand (I'm a wierdo). Then it hit me that I have Willamette on hand and I shouldn't. The Willamette was supposed to be used in my brew.
So, I did a bittering addition of Nugget (1.1oz of 12.2% @ 60). For whatever reason, I forgot the Willamette:
.5oz @ 30
.5oz @ 0
What should I do? Since the gravity is lower than expected, would the 30 minute addition not matter as much? When I rack to secondary, think I should dry hop with some Willamette?
I'm feeling pretty stupid right about now. I guess that's what I get for having a few drinkies with a friend while brewing.
