I was making a kit ESB ($25 on the monthly sale https://www.defalcos.com/virtuemart...ge=flypage.tpl&product_id=298&category_id=169 ) and supposed to have an OG around 1.058.
Well the last couple partial mashes I messed up on so I made sure and sparge the grains well. Then adding the brown sugar at the end, it said add 1 cup so I looked online and said about 220grams. I tossed in 240g because I have had low OGs in the past.
Well my OG is a 1.081
Is a wyeast smack pack 1968 London ESB yeast going to handle this? I can't find anything on attenuation or alcohol tolerance.
I have temperature control, so that can be adjusted. Thoughts? Is there a place to find the yeast specs?
Am I going to get a good attenuation or should I add water and throw off my hydro readings as I already pitched yeast.
