Hello all.
So I gave a tripel a shot today. I realise it was probably beyond my skill level but I came across some high gravity Trappist yeast so thought I'd give it a go.
I put together a recipe using Brewer's Friend which had me hitting an OG of 10.82. I hit my expected pre boil gravity of 1.044 with 70% efficiency. I then boiled and added 1kg of sugar with 15 minutes to go.
I took a sample but didn't read it until after I pitched. I got 10.64.
What have a done wrong? I just dumped the sugar in should I have pre-mixed it? The boil was really going so I didn't make any effort to mix it in, was this my problem?
Also can I know fix it by putting more sugar in the fermenter? and If so how do I work our how much?
Thank for your help.
