For bigbrew day this year I attended an organized event that provided wort made by a local brewery. When I showed up I found out the grain bill wasn't quite what I was expecting but still decided to proceed with the ingredients I brought with me. They were supposed to make the More Fun Blonde AHA recipe but ended up using straight 2-row.
As it turned out their efficiency is crazy high so I ended up with a OG of 1.077. Another brewer warned me that the tiny packet of Safbrew Abbaye needed to be augmented to avoid under pitching for my 5 gallon batch. For whatever reason I ignored his advice and thus I'm here.
The beer finished around 1.010 but tastes maybe a tad under-attenuated. I believe it was supposed to finish around 1.004. Fermentation was crazy active and required a blowoff tube. Should I repitch with a fresh culture of Abbaye and/or something else? Would that help?
