Ok I know im setting myse3lf up to get ripped to shreds here because its pretty stupid, but I am just wondering what you guys think this beer is going to be like
ok i had a bunch of extra ingredients lying around so I threw together a brown ale. the ingredients I used...
1.5 lbs crystal 10L
3 lbs brown malt
3 lbs pale malt extract
1 oz chocolate malt
1.5 oz fuggles 60 minute
0.5 oz fuggles 10 minute
11g sachet nottingham
Ok so heres my stupid problem. the brown malt was not crushed. I did my best to crush it by hand, which was haaard, and then got incredibly lazy and just decided to try and use it not crushed properly.....
My original gravity was only 1.028 when it was finished so I just dumped in enough dextrose to bring it up to 1.042 to try and at least salvage it.
It spent a week and a half in the primary and will sit for like another 4 weeks in the secondary.
How terrible is this thing going to be....
