I brewed a batch of the 09-09-09 yesterday (AG), but my efficiency sucked. My OG was nearly .020 lower than it should be (1.102 vs 1.021). Since this is supposed to be a barleywine I'd like to get the ABV up higher.
The problem is that I'm out of extract that I usually use for my starters so I can't add it right now. (Fermentation is rather vigorous right now.) I'm leaving my house on Thursday to head to the GABF, so I can't order DME on-line and receive it in time. I can go to the homebrew shop in Denver and add boiled DME on Sunday.
Is this too late? What would be the repercussions if I did go this route?
I don't know if fermentation will will be completed by then, but it sure have subsided.
Ideas/comments/suggestions?
