Not thinking, I messed up my grain bill on my 1st all-grain attempt.
I ordered the grain in whole pounds, thinking I’d measure them out later.
Instead they ground and mixed them all together (my fault).
----------------------------------------------
5 Gallon Nut Brown Ale recipe called for:
12# American 2-row malt
1# Wheat malt
1.25# CaraPils malt
1.25# Crystal malt
.5# Chocolate malt
Total: 16#
----------------------------------------------
What I have ground and mixed:
12# American 2-row malt
1# Wheat malt
2# Cara Pils malt
2# Crystal malt
1# Chocolate malt
Total: 18#
----------------------------------------------
A 2.25# difference
----------------------------------------------
Obviously I can’t separate them now. Should I reduce the total weight of the grain bill to to the original 16# and hope for the best? What do you think?
