Hi,
I bought an all-grain kit from Northern Brewer. I punched the original ingredients into my brewing software and the SRM's were high, the IBU's, and the O.G. too low (for a 5 gallon batch). I am thinking of doing a 6 gallon batch and trying to tidy the recipe up a little. I listened to Jamil's podcast and he suggested flaked corn and table sugar. The color is off, but unfortunately it was pretty off directly from Northern Brewer. I'll be punching any recipe kits I buy into my software from now on.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
(The ingredients in bold came in a big mixed bag from NB - so I can't subtract from them).
