Brewed a DIPA this morning. Missed my target OG by a wide margin. It was supposed to be 1.070, I hit 1.060. Haven't figured out why...but I'll do that later. In the meantime, I have a question.
If it were your beer, would you leave it alone and drink a 6.6% ABV double IPA? Or would you add another lb of table sugar to the soon-to-be-fermenting wort? (that would make it 2 lb of sugar, total. 10% of total fermentables). Just curious.
Original grain bill:
14 lb 2-Row
1 lb White Wheat
.5 lb C-40
.5 lb Cara-pils
.35 lb Acidulated
1 lb table sugar
114.5 IBU
