I'm attempting to make the Summertime Klosch clone (Extract w/Grains) from the BYO Clone Recipe. The first ingredient is 1.0 oz (28 g) 2-Row Pale Malt (1.9 L).
I gave the guy at the LHBS my recipe and he gave me (and I used) 1.0 lb 2-Row Pale Malt.
Yesterday was day 28 in the primary and I'm ready to bottle. I took the hydro sample and a taste. My FG is 1.015. My wort in not clear by any means (almost looks like butterscotch) and the taste is not what I expected. I don't think it's 'bad', but it's just not 'right'...
In my infinite wisdom I decided it wasn't don't fermenting yet and I shook the crap out of it think I could 'stir up some activity'
I've crunch the numbers again and see I missed the OG too. As per the recipe with 1.0 oz it should have been OG 1.046 / FG 1.010
The 'recipe' on beersmith with the 1.0 lb; OG 1.054 / FG 1.013 I started at 1.054.
So now what? I know I need to leave it alone for awhile so everything can settle back down again, but what have I made using 1lb instead of 1oz? Can I 'fix' it?
p.s. can I keep priming sugar? I boiled up a batch before starting and didn't use it. Can I stick it in the fridge or should I dump it?
Thanks for your help!
