OK, so i want to blame this one on SWMBO cuz she is the one who "checked" it...but that might mean sleeping in the recliner with the dog, so I guess I won't.
Bottling a perfect EdWort Haus Pale last night, and I asked her to double check the amount of sugar I needed for bottling. She had some trouble with the mouse and finally found the amount at the bottom of the screen (I use Beersmith). I had originally measured out around 4.5 ozs. to use, shooting for around 2.5 volumes.
She tells me 2.3 ozs. I think WTF?!? but go ahead and dutifully take the sugar off the scale, after I verify the # on the screen.
Fast forward to 1 hour later when the last of the bottles is capped and I am doing cleanup, getting the laptop out of the way to avoid splashes. I look at the recipe before I shut BS down, and "Oh s#%t!" it is set to the kegged sugar amount.
Sure enough, I originally had the right amount, but she somehow changed the setting, so I ended up using only half the sugar i should have.
Anybody have any thoughts on what a PA will taste like with about 1.4 volumes of carb?
PS I have no kegging ability at this time.
Tanks...
