Well I really don't have the time to make this a experiment , this brew was for Christmas that's why I'm dumping it and starting over. And I'm not actually bull ****ting you my brew partner is my brother in law. This isn't my first all grain , I have made this beer before with no problems...

I did exactly that, after I chill the wort then transfer it into the carboy. That is when 3 liters of unboiled wort got added in

And feinbera I didn't even say that at all, if you can't read then please don't make up your own story and put my name in it

I think I'm just going to dump the batch and start over .

Yes unboiled wort got dump in the carboy , sorry for the confusion , I was still morning drunk on lack of sleep when I started this thread

Sorry I meant carboy not kettle, I made this beer before and had no problems only different this time was adding second runnings into the carboy

Was having a good brew day , until I left to go to the washroom and my brew partner decided to dump 3 litre of second running into the carboy. Beside having a gravity reading of 1.060 I got 1.080.!!!! Now i am wondering if this will also change the taste of my beer.?

Awesome thanks

Good to know, is the small amount of chocolate noticeable or is it just to say I added chocolate.?

My only concern is adding real caramel into it due to the fats & oil or am I over thinking this.

Best suggestion I found is to roast some cocoa beans for the mash and add vanilla extract or beans in the secondary. Which gives it something close to white chocolate

Planing on making a winter ale and the recipe ask for white chocolate, everything I read on the net is very vague. I understand due to the oil and other flavors in the chocolate can cause problems. I wonder if extract is a better route.

Will do

Good to know thanks. Someone told me that due to it is an Belgium wit it will taste like a musty sock when it's condition, which means I'm on the right track.

Was sampling some of the condition beer as I was bottling it and found that it is not close to what it should be. Everything was done bang on up to this point. Not sure if it is me or if carbonation will bring out more of the flavour.

I got it from a online beer magazine , . http://www.beerandbrewer.com/_blog/Magazine/post/Recipe_-_Clone_Kitsiliano_Maple_Cream_Ale/ If they are malts that makes sense , now if I can break it down to a 5 gallon batch I would be one really happy brewer.

After some more research on this I discovery that I am a idiot and don't know how to use a hydrometer = ) . thanks everyone for your info

I need help to break down this recipe for a 5 gallon batch. I'm also a little confuse on when or how to add the light lager & meq would I add it to my wort or straight to my carboy.? Granville maple cream ale Alcohol volume: 4.8% (approx). Volume: 50 litres* Ingredients 1.5 litres light lager...

That's probability it , more then one scale

I'll take a picture of my hydrometer when I get home, Im not making it up it has a negative value up to 40,i dont know what else to tell yoy you.
