...Not another word, okay? Not. Another. Word.
Seriously tho. I brewed a brown ale that went all sorts of haywire. It was one of those brew days when almost everything conceivable that could go wrong, did go wrong. The recipe - this one here, as a matter of fact - had a target OG of 1.056, and I ended up with 1.063. My FG was supposed to be around 1.012, but it ended up at... 1.020. The beer's way too sweet, and the mouthfeel is like maple syrup compared to what it should be.
So. Is it possible (well, I know it's possible... I guess is it acceptable) to pull some beer off, and add some boiled RO water to the keg to drop the FG down? and what can I expect (other than watery beer) if I do this? I'm willing to gamble, because at the moment, the beer's flat out undrinkable to me.
