Hello all,
A couple of months ago, I made a batch of "A Texan's Bock" which I pulled off my local brew shop's website. The recipe turned out great.
Now I've made the switch to AG and asked the shop owners to convert the recipe over from PM to AG for me. Once I got home, I realized that they had completely left out the corn sugar the recipe called for. I've got both recipe's put into BeerTools Pro and it looks as if the recipe matches up in terms of OG & FG. I know that corn sugar doesn't really do much except up the alcohol % but I wanted a second opinion with this omission before I put the brew in motion.
