Hey everyone
Been brewing for over a year, 16 successful batches so far, mostly extract + specialty grains and partial mashes.
I brewed up this recipe a week ago:
http://brewersconnection.com/recipes/velvetrose.htm
with the following modifications:
- used 2-row instead of 6-row
- used cooked cornmeal instead of flaked corn
- used Wyeast 1056 (American Ale)
I was in a hurry to find a recipe and didn't really think this one through. Realized after the fact that carapils, 2-row, munich and vienna don't do much when steeped.
Somehow managed an OG of 1.074, which doesn't even make sense. Or does it? After 1 week, it's down to 1.01. This seems ridiculous given that most of the grains likely did nothing but put a bunch of starch in my wort. Not that I'm complaining about the ABV though
I measured the OG about 10 minutes after pitching my 0.25L starter.
Anyone ever used this recipe, or have any insight as to why my OG would be so high?
Thanks
