My gravity reading was a bummer on my 5 gal. batch of Kolsch this Saturday...1.034. I was shooting for 1.044. My recipe was like this....
3# 2 row
2# German Pils
mashed in 2 gals. of H2O for an hour @ 155º (mash-in-a-bag method)
sparged @ 175º in 2 gals
I got a gravity reading of 1.048 in <4 gals of wort.
I boiled for 90 minutes adding .5 oz. of hops @ 90 minutes & 60.
@ 15 minutes I added 3# of DME (light pils) & irish moss.
OG was 1.034 when topped off to 5 gals.
My question is...can I boil some more DME (I have 3# on hand) & add it to my already fermenting (for 2 days now) beer & if so, how much should I add to bring my gravity to about 1.044?
