Hi all!
I went to the supply store to get the stuff for this great double IPA I made.
I used omega tropical (90% attenuation) for 8.5 abv and 1 lbs of dextrose.
They were out so I picked up omega DIPA but it has a MUCH lower attenuation (70s). Do I keep it all the same and roll with the low 7 ABV, or is doubling the dextrose OK to do? (Which would get me up.to 8.25 abv)
My hope is the 2 lbs of dextrose would thin it out and let the hops shine, but if that's too much dextrose please warn me!
Here's the bill:
5 lbs 2 row
2 lbs Vienna
1 lbs crystal 15
2 lbs DME
1 lbs? Dextrose
