Hi all,
I´m a long time lurker without an account, but decided to create an account to get a bit of help.
I just brewed for the first time yesterday, with a pre-made recipe for a "Belgian Blond"
I followed the recipe step by step, but ended up with less of a OG than listed.
Recipe was in metric, so I´ve changed it to imperial and full recipe is below:
Grain-bill
13,22 pound Pilsnermalt
0,55 pound Cara Wienermalt
0,55 pound Caramunic 1-Malt
Hops
East Kent Holding 1.05 ounce – added at boil start
Styrian Golding 0,35 ounce – added last 10 min of boil
Styrian Golding 0,70 ounce – added at flame out
Sugar
Candid sugar 10,58 ounce – added last 5 min of boil
Other
Also Irish moss 0,35 ounce – added last 15 min of boil
Mash amount was 4,29 Gallons, time was set for 60 min at temperature 149F.
Sparge amount was 5,28 Gallons at temperature 165F.
Boil was for 80 min.
Yeast is Yeast Wyeast 1388 Belgian Strong, and Its fermenting at 77F, while recipe say 71,6F, but I have no means to cool it for now, will it result in off flavour?
Noted OG in recipe 1070, while my OG was 1041, this read while temperature was 25F with hydrometer and refractometer that corrects up to 86F
I think the change in OG is due to me sparging too much at a time? But I´m not sure, so would like your input on it. Could be the recipe is just not correct with temperature etc.
Thanks for taking your time and reading through the post.
