So, I just spent allll day brewing a Delirium Tremens Clone.
I entered the recipe in Beersmith, things seem to be ok, I added the water specified (around 7 GAL). Did everything, up to the boil (still boiling at the moment).
I measured the gravity and the volume of water just after adding the sugar and spices. The gravity is at around 1.030 for a volume of around 6gal!!! The recipe was to end up with a 3 gal batch. Anyone has any idea as to what went wrong??
I added some liquid malt extract that I had on hand, maybe about 500ml. Hopefully that'll bring the gravity up a bit, and I'll be ok for a bigger batch.
Any advice???
