Hi - I promise I Googled first before posting this question!
Anyway, I made my first all-grain beer about 2 weeks ago. It is a wheat beer, a kit from Annapolis Homebrew. The day of the brew I gathered my ingredients, took them over to my brew site, and made the beer.
Long story short, I was cleaning out my fridge a few days ago and found a bag of hops that should have gone into the beer at the start of the boil. When I originally got my ingredients together, I remember thinking "Only one bag of hops, and it goes in the last 10 minutes? I know wheat beers aren't super-hoppy, but this seems weird..."
I should have listened to my instincts and torn the fridge apart then.
Anyway, I just wanted to know if there is anything I can do to add some of the intended bitterness back in. Can I make some wort with DME and hop that, and then add it to the carboy?
So much for a good first AG!
