wrong amounts of Malts

[sirkypt]

Hi, I was going to make a recipe for 2.5 Gallons using:

pale Ale Malt 3.8 pounds
Caramel 20L 0.33 pounds
Caramel 60L 0.22 pounds

but by mistake I added: pale Ale Malt 5 pounds, Caramel 20L 1 pound and Caramel 60L 1 pound.

I realize after I finish this stupid mistake, and now the batch is fermenting.

I know this is totally stupid, but my question is if the resulting beer will be drinkable, due to the high amounts of caramel 60L and 20L,

what are your suggestions, discard the beer or continue??

thanks...

1) I would never discard before tasting.

2) If bad but not horrible, this would be a candidate for blending.

It will definitely be sweet thats for sure. I think it should be fine. You should taste it and see if think dry hopping it (with a resinous hop like columbus) will help create so flavor diversity. You may want to consider adding some hop tea to increase the bitterness.

Thanks the Beer is hoppy, think due to the dry hop. Didn't get what I want it but is ok. One of the posts talk about blending, what this mean?

Mix this beer with another, less sweet, beer.

It will just be more malty. I think that is fine. Taste it you will find out.
