Hi all,
I'm making an IPA but for whatever the reason my mash efficiency was incredibly low, so I decided to add cane sugar. I put in two cups of boiled, saturated sugar water which brought my OG up from 1.035 to 1.055. But I read on a forum post earlier that sometimes adding sugar at the beginning of fermentation can cause the yeast to consume less of the malt sugars than they usually would and can lead to extra, unwanted sweetness in the beer. Do you guys think I'll be ok? Ill post my recipe
Batch Size: 1.3 gallons
Mash: 75 Minutes
Temp: 151 degrees
predicted OG: 1.067 predicted FG: 1.017
Predicted Efficiency: 70 ABV: 6.6
IBU: around 50
2 lb 11 oz American 2 row
6 oz Munich (10L)
2 oz Crystal 60
2 oz carapils
1 oz Crystal 20
1 oz Victory
1/4 oz Cascade (6.4%) 20 min
1/4 oz Chinook (11.1%) 15 min
1/4 oz Chinook (7.5%) 5 min
1/4 oz Cascade (6.4%) 5 min
1/4 oz Chinook (11.1%) 0 min
1/4 oz Cascade (6.4%) 0 min
0.2 oz Chinook (dry hop) 7 days
0.2 oz Cascade (dry hop) 7 days
