Hi All,
I starting brewing from kits and on my 3rd brew I got brave, did some research and created my own recipe. It has been ferminting since July 22 about 2.5 weeks and tastes very sweet. I have included a run down of the recipe and actions to date. I am hoping someone can hepl me tone the sweetness down before bottleing
.5 lbs. Victory Malt
5 oz Flaked Barley
.25 Lbs, Light chocolate malt
.25 lbs. roasted barley
7 lbs of light LME
12 oz maple syrup
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 oz chinook 13%
1 OZ Golding 5%
1/3 oz cascades
safale US-05
1 lbs roasted pecans
1.5 tbls maple but extract
on 7/22
SO I dont have a 5g pot so I split the boil into3 seperate pots. for a total of 3.5G to start
the grains and pecans went in to steep
started boil added 1/2 LME and chinook
30 min added 1/2 of the Golding
10 min remaining add remaining hops, maple syrup and the rest of LME
Cooled in ice bath for 40 min added cold water to make 5 gallons.
O.G 1.061
added dry yeast and shook for 90 sec.
Fermed at ~65 edgrees untill 8/2 when I rackekd and added maple nut extract flavoring
Took a reading and looked to be 1.009
Let sit in secondary until tonight at ~70 degrees. Took reading and it went up to 1.013
I am not sure how it went up, but it tastes too sweet. It is almost like if southern comfort maed a beer sweet. I could not imagine drinking a pint of it.
Any thoughts ideas critiziam is welcome
was the recipe off to start?, can I pitch more yeast or do I just sit it in the corner at 70 degrees for another week, should I try dry hopping
Thank you
