Not sure what to do. I have a batch of Sticke ALT I accidentally made 100 IBU instead of 50. I then proceeded to boil down and go "imperial". However I changed my mind and want to brew it again without bittering hops and blend. The first batch ended up 5 gal with OG 1.063. I want the overall blended beer closer to my original recipe of 1.056. So the new unbittered 5 gal batch will have to be weaker in SG (1.049 5gal) as well. However my question is this...
Should I reduce ALL fermentables equally and keep the same % of ingredients? Or just reduce the "base" malts of pils and Munich?
And note, my efficiency is 90% so I already changed my original recipe from research I did by reducing the pils and Munich by 1/2 lb each to hit the SG I wanted but left the other grains the same. Not sure if this is the proper protocol either but it's what I did...
