This past weekend a buddy and I brewed a Pale Ale. During the course of the day an event happened (armed police investigating a club across the street) which slightly distracted us. After the sparge was complete we realized the sparge additions were not made. So in our haste I added the minerals and lactic acid to the boil. However, we are using a HERMS and the additions were for 11Gal in the HLT not the 6.6Gal used for sparging. So now I'm wondering what we might expect in the finished product?
Grain bill:
16lbs brewers malt
2lbs Crystal 40l
13oz. Vienna malt
Water: (distilled water built up)
8.7Gal. in mash
2.2g. Gypsum 2.2 Epsom Salt 4.4 CaCl 0.9g Baking Soda
6.6Gal Sparge
2.8g. Gypsum 2.8 Epsom Salt. 5.5 CaCl. 14.7mL lactic acid
Boil volume was 12.8Gal and fern volume is 10.25Gal.
