I rarely do extract or kits but am brewing a "lite" ale for my Miller drinking friend at his request.
I ordered a kit and the OG listed in the directions just doesn't seem right to me. I punched it into Brewsmith and it's well below the listed OG in the kit.
I personally think 3lbs of DME just isn't enough to hit 1.044. But hey what do I know?
Anyways I want to try and hit the target OG. So before I randomly throw in some more DME I thought I would post here for possible suggestions and ect.
Brewsmith is telling me a target of 1.030
Recipe:
1lb Caramel 20
3lbs Pilsen DME
1lb Rice syrup solids
.5lb Maltodextrine
1oz Cascade
1oz Hallertau
Safale 05
