So my last batch came up a little short on my OG. Can I add some DME to jump it up to where it should be?
Has anyone tried this recently? I brewed a WPA yesterday and only got about 60% efficiency (I've chalked it up to a poor crush from Midwest. When I crush my own, I'm in the upper 70's).
I hit around 1.034 SG when I expected around 1.052 SG. I was already pushing the limits for this beer with 40 IBUs at the estimated SG of 1.052. With such a low SG (1.034), I fear it's going to be waaay too bitter.
I was simply thinking about boiling a pound or two of pale DME then adding it to my primary.
