I was shooting for right at 1.060 which was the capacity of my Wyeast 1056. I was at 1.063 or 4. I pitched tonight. Should I find more yeast and pitch more tomorrow or is this in the range of close enough?

I am brewing a fresh hopped IPA from extract. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f37/fresh-wet-hop-ipa-recipe-comments-please-431509/ I ordered my stuff Tuesday night from Williams and got it yesterday. I am brewing tomorrow. Unfortunately, when I unpacked it last night, the Wyeast 1056 I ordered...

Hi all: going to brew up this weekend using a bunch of fresh hops off the vine that I have. I really have no idea what variety this is, but they have a nice hoppy smell to them. To hedge my bet, I am going to use an ounce of Cascade pellets for bittering, and another ounce for flavor, and hop...

Sun Valley, ID that is. My name is Steve, and I started brewing in the 90's while living in Tacoma, WA. After moving to Idaho, I continued to brew until my last batch sometime in the mid 00's, when I quit due to lack of time, kids, etc. I have always been an extract brewer, but like...
