Hey brewers! Ugh, after reading so much here and on other pages, I finally started my first brew two days ago.
Something went wrong in translation though, and I basically added 4x as much hops as I planned (1 oz apparently is 28gram, not 100gram, MY BADDD!!)
So I used Coopers Brew A (hopped LME) and their light dry malt extract, made 23L (5gallon?) according to their instructions (I believe it is 1,7kg LME and 1,5kg DME)
I did a hop boil of 20min:
50g (so about 2oz) of Cascade 20min
25g of Citra 20min
50g of Citra at 5min
and then 50g and 25g of Citra at flameout
now, the schedule might be crap as well, but I'm mostly worried about the flavour (for now) and what could I do?
I have half a mind of just letting it be, bottle, taste and learn. The other half thinks I can add more water and DME to 28L to at least "dilute" it somewhat more.
Any advice (andfriendly banter) welcome
