My son and I have been brewing (kits) very successfully for some time now but we just tried our first home recipe and I have a huge issue that will likely render all our work and ingredients useless.
Long story short we altered a Belgium Triple and ended up with such a high OG that it was near the desert wine area of the hydrometer. There MAY have been some inaccuracy from not mixing as well as we should have but I am pretty certain that is not the main issue.
I dont expect this beer to taste great at this point but I would like to at least try an salvage something out of it other than a lesson in what NOT to do LOL
I feel the only way we will be able to prime the beer for bottling will be to prime the 5 gallons with new yeast. How much yeast should we add to a five gallon bottling bucket? I dont want a flat beer, however I fear bottle bombs as well???
Am I screwed????
