Hello fellow brewers! I started my first batch of HB Saturday after lurking on the forums for a couple of months. My LHBS built the Brewers Best Witbier kit (they forgot the coriander and orange peel). I ended up using zest from tangerines (10 min) picked a couple of days ago along with a bottle of honey with 5 min left in the boil. Figure being the first brew this was more of a brew to get the concepts down. My OG was 1.034 and after speaking with a fellow local brewer I added a cup and a half of table sugar to bring it up to 1.050. It's supposed to top out at 1.049 I believe. I didn't fully cover the muslin bag and ended up using 2 gallons of spring water instead of the 1 gallon on the brewers best instructions. Wonder if that's the reason for the low OG? Anywho just wanted to say thanks to those on this forum that helps those like me brave through this venture!
