I made the Honey of a Gluten Free Lager recipe from Brewing with Briess web site. I got the ingredients from Northern Brewer. Their White Sorghum syrup comes in a 6lb bottle. I added the whole 6 lbs instead of the requested 3.75lbs. I also added 4oz of maltobedextrin (40min) and 5tsp of yeast nutrient (flameout). I only used 1 package of dry lager yeast, but will ferment and age at room temp. The starting gravity was 1.060 and it is bubbling away after putting it in the fermenter yesterday. Did I do something real bad by using the whole bottle of Sorgrhum syrup? Did I need to pitch more yeast as I did not make a yeast starter. I will use 5oz corn sugar to carbonate. What do you think it will taste like?
The recipe is from the brewingwithbriess.com web site
