About two weeks ago I was milling the grain for my Irish red using two crystals and RB.
As I was loading the barley crusher for the second time I turned my drill too hard and tipped the BC causing some of the grain to spill. Since I added my specialty grains last that is what I mostly lost. I used the broom and made a pile of all the grains that I had lost and had to eyeball which I lost and how much. I added a bit more of the crystals and RB.
My brew went great, hit all my gravitys, except my beer was dark purple.
I am assuming this is too much RB, what kind of flavors can I except from this mistake? I took a sample today, hit my 1.012 as my FG. I cant quite put my finger on the taste, but first impression was I didnt like it.
