Hello,
I made a 1.5 gallon batch of oatmeal stout, i screwed it up pretty bad though. my girlfriend and i were originally planning on doing a .5 gallon batch so we got an oatmeal stout and divided all the ingredients by .1 to compensate for ingredient volumes.
before we started brewing i found a 1 gallon jug so we decided to double our recipe and turn half of it into a coffee oatmeal stout. stupid of us because we were brewing more than double our .5 gallons.
long story short, the gravity turned out to be 1.028 when it should have been around the 1.056 mark. here is the recipe we used:
1.8lbs 2row malt
6oz flaked oatmeal
3.2oz crystal malt *60
1.6oz chocolate malt
1.6oz roasted barley
all this was for a 1.5 gallon batch.
now my question, is there any way to boost up the sugar content, like can i boil some LME and throw it in? if so how much would it take to get it up to the OG of 1.056?
