Well not actually ruined just out of the guidelines a bit.
I finally got a mill. yep that's what did it. What a difference. After brewing with a commercial crush and getting high 60ish efficiency my first batch, for the Kolsch, out of my mill gave me 88%. Which of course gave me an OG of 1.060 and an est 6.5% ABV. Way stronger than what I had wanted. But... rather than play with additions I went with it. It will still drink very well and I'll make adjustments to all my recipes based on this, 'cept maybe the IIPA! I guess you have to brew one of your recipes to see where you're at then go from there.
