Tried my first from scratch home brew.
I decided on an all grain attempt at Hefeweizen.
OG WAS WAY LOW SO I ADDED TWO TYPES OF SUGAR after 24 hours in fermenter ... did I screw up the batch?
Ingredients
4.5 lbs flaked barley
4.5lbs brides white wheat malt
1/2 lb flaked oats
1/2 lb flaked white wheat
1oz hallertau mittelfruh hops
Wyeast 3068
Grain mixed together
6.5 gallons spring water
Boiled down to approx 4.5 gallons wort
Held at 152 degrees one hour
Boiled 40 mins add hops boil another 20
Chill to 72 degrees
Wort test 65 degrees
1.140 starting hydrometer reading MISREAD
1.015 more accurate (lower than it should be for OG!)
Added second day 14 oz Boiled then chilled to 67 degrees Kari light corn syrup with vanilla extract to boost OG
Also added 1 1/3 cups sugar boiled in 1 1/3 cup distilled water
temp 68-70 for fermentation
