Hi All,
I Just finished my fourth brew and have a really high OG. I brewed an American Amber and tried doing the late addition DME for the first time.
Here is the outline for the malt bill:
Steeped 1lbs Carmel 40L for 30min
3 lbs Amber DME for the full boil
3 lbs Light late addition 10 Min
Whirlfloc 10 min
It seemed to not have a great Hot Break (using an immersion chiller) and it kept clogging the filter. When I took my OG it was at 1.061. Beersmith calculated 1.053. Is this because of the late addition of the DME? Is this normal? Anybody think of anything I should be concerned about?
Thanks
