Hey HBT,
I have consistently made a mistake every time I brew it seems. Time for an itinerary to be drawn up ... Anyway
My latest blunder was about 2 hours ago, I boiled a orange creamsickle ale from AHS. Sort of like a dessert beer, starts with an orange flavor and finishes with a vanilla flavor ...
I started a 2.5 gallon boil and steeped my grains, then was supposed to add an additional gallon of water, bring wort to boil, add malt, hops, etc..
Well ... I forgot the extra gallon! My wort was very syrupy and concentrated. I was able to still get about 90-95% of it into my carboy. It filled up to about the gallon line. My hops bags were so sticky with syrupy wort.
I added about 4 gallons of water and pitched my yeast anyway ...
Will my beer be ok? Will the concentrated syrupy like wort take that 4 gallons of water and be ok?
Respectfully,
Patrick
