Hi there,
Brewed Northern Brewer's extract Black IPA (CDA) kit.
Og. Was supposed to be 1.075
Ours came in at 1.065 and had a final of 1.020.....
The beer is now kegged. Zero malt flavor, watery and dry....
I would assume that since it finished so high that there should be some detectable sweetness.
Was missing the target OG what screwed it up?
I also beefed up the hops so maybe they are overpowering the malts?
Recipe:
3.15 lbs Dark Malt extract
6 lbs Dark Malt extract
1 lb corn sugar
0.25 lbs Carafa
0.25 lbs Chocolate Malt
0.5 Caramel 80
1oz Summit (60min)
1oz Chinook (15min)
1oz Centennial (10min) added an additional oz (2oz total)
1oz Cascade (5min) added an additional oz (2oz total)
1oz Centennial (0min) added an additional oz (2oz total)
1oz Cascade (Dry hop) added an additional oz (2oz total)
Wyeast 1272 in a 2000ml yeast starter
fermented at 68F
Thanks
