So I ended up brewing a Caramel Cream Ale because I had a couple days off work. I didnt have the best info (the mash schedule I had seemed way off) so I sort of winged it.
I ended up way over my mash temp because last time I was way under. I corrected and hit the right temp for a good 35-40 minutes. Was this long enough?
My gravity ended up as 1.040 instead of 1.067. But I took the gravity reading before the vanilla and lactose went in (this recipe has 4oz of vanilla and 4oz of lactose). Is this why it is low or is it because i missed my mash temp and there were less fermentables?
I don't know why I always have these post brew freakouts. The beer always turns out great
