What the hell happened here doods?
I just brewed a batch with a somewhat improvised extract recipe, and my OG was 1.090.
I used:
3 pounds wheat malt extract
3 pounds light dry malt extract
1 oz hallertau at the start of the boil
1 oz tettnang 10 mins from the end
2 oz coriander 10 mins from the end
1 tsp irish moss 15 mins from the end
This is for a 5 gallon batch. Right now theres about 4.75 gallons of fermenting wort total, my plan was to wait till the initial fermentation slowed then to add the rest of the water with a pound of honey. The fact that the OG is so high is making me wary of using any more fermentables, but I really want the honey.
I brewed this last night and pitched yeast around midnight. It's 8:45am the next morning and already the airlock is ripping.
Why is my OG so high? I know the sample wasn't at 60 degrees, but it wasn't super warm either. Could hop particles change the gravity reading? There was a lot of hops in the test vial.
