I was a space cadet and (all grain) put my 5.5 lbs Organic Western Wheat and 5.5 lbs of 2 Row Barley tea bag at 150* correctly,,, but I brought it up to high boil instantly to do my 60 min boil. I only added 1/4 oz of hops (at minute 50), because I'm making a pistachio beer and want to make sure I taste the pistachio. Now, I just read that there's a bitterness and less efficiency. Instead of seeming like I'll get the 7.8% ABV that I was told I should get, the OG was at 1.03(looking like I'll have not even half what I want lol). How gnarly IS this bitterness supposed to be in the end? I'm going to start a new batch correctly, but should I just dump out the fermentation that's already slowed to a near halt after only three days?
