So I brewed up an IPA this weekend, and now am worried its going to be a bit too bitter. Beer Smith puts it at 63.4 and I was looking to get in the mid 40s. I had 4 lbs of light DME and 1.5 lbs Wheat DME, along with 1 lb of crystal as a partial mash. 1 oz Amarillo at 60 min, 1.5 centenial at 45 min, 0.5oz amarillo at 30 and another 1 oz of cenential at 30 min. When I figured my recipe, I had another 2 lbs of light DME, but I didnt end up using it. Its been in primary since saturday with a good fermentation going (American Ale II Wyeast) and I am planning on moving it to secondary next weekend.
Could I boil up 2 lbs of light DME in 1 gallon and add it to either the primary or secondary to offset the bitterness? or maybe 1 lb of corn suggar? Or any other ideas?
Thanks so much!
