I just pitched the yeast on my Dunkelweizen. The recipe called for a OG of 1.061, my OG after temperature correction was 1.032. The final gravity of this recipe according to my LHBS where I got the kit is supposed to be 1.015. I measured the OG after I topped off the carboy to 5 gallons, just before airating with a drill and pitching the yeast. I'm concerned I did something wrong, but I followed the recipe below.
8lb. Alexander's wheat malt extract 60% wheat 40% KLGAS
1/2 lb Weyermann Caramel Wheat Malt 66 L
1/4 lb. Weyermann De-Husked Carafa III Malt 488 L
1/2 oz Saphir Hop
Wyeast #3056 Bavarian Wheat Yeast
Also, when I smacked the yeast pack, it did swell. When I pitched it in the carboy, I noticed that only half of the nutrient pack had emptied into the yeast. I dumpded the rest into the carboy. Should this be ok?
This being my second brew, I'm concerned that something is wrong with the OG. Thanks.
