This is my third post (and my third batch). I'm addicted to your good advice. You guys are enablers.
RE: My Partial Mash SNPA clone attempt - I've just racked it into the secondary and took a sample to taste/measure. It has a good flavor, but it's thin and not quite hoppy enough.
I added 1oz. whole Cascade hops to the carboy to dryhop, so I'm not worried about the hop flavor. The thinness got me thinking however, so I dug out my notes and I see that the recipe predicts an OG of 1.060, whereas I managed to produce only 1.026!
The gravity after primary ferm. is 1.016. Can I add DME to bring this up a bit? What's the best way to do this? Will adding malto-dextrine help?
Can anything be done? Not that I'm worried - it's just small beer.
Thanks for helping!
