Cream ale. O.G 1.038. Four days later, S.G. is 1.008. No effin' way? Effin' way?
Recipe was improv so didn't specify any target gravities.
[2 gallon -- steeping grain: 6 3/4 oz (3 parts Honey Malt to one part biscuit malt) DME: rice extact 7 3/8 oz, Pilsen 1 lb, Light 4 3/8 oz) ]
=====
.... Hmm, just remembered that I made a math error and under did the DME by 3 oz. which in a 2 gallon batch is 10% So it *is* low gravity[1]. (that low???) So I guess this isn't *that* shocking. Guess, I just want my hand held. .... again...
[1] In 5 gallon the idea was that this should be 4.8 lbs DME ~= 6 lbs LME * 2/5 = 1.92 lbs. But in actuality was 1 lb 11 3/4 oz = 1.74 lbs and as the Sea Captain on the Simpsons says "Yargh, I don't know what I'm doin''"
