So I brewed up a 10G batch of a Stone IPA clone..
Here is the recipe I used:
This is Ed's recipe...
Single infusion 60 minutes at 153 degrees.
10.5# Pale
1# Munich
1# Crystal 20L
1 oz. Warrior 60 minutes
1 oz. Centennial 15 minutes
1 oz. Centennial 5 minutes
Dry Yeast - Safale US-05
O.G. 1.066
F.G. 1.010
Dry Hop with 1 oz. Centennial.
Calculating this out... this should be 66 x 11G = 726 GU
So I based my recipe on my last efficiency of 75% and added a pound of 2 row
22# 2 row @ 38 GU = 835 GU possible
2 lb munich @ 35GU = 70GU possible
2 lb crystal 15L @ 35 = 70 GU possible
Total GU @ 100% = 975 GU
975 GU x .75 (eff) = 731.25 GU
I took a reading in both carboys @ 65 degrees and it 1.050! (550 GU = 56% efficiency!)
I have 'no' idea what happened... It was my second attempt at fly sparging, so perhaps I experienced 'channeling'..
Anyways, the stuff is sitting in carboys.. What can I do? I don't have any DME, but I do have 7 4oz packets of priming sugar... Can I somehow use that to bring the OG up?
I haven't pitched yeast yet.. I'm figured I'd post this first...
