Today's earlier batch had a minor issue of over yield. Due to an over water addition, I ended up with more than 5 gallons. Though I boiled harder and longer (get your mind out of the gutter), I still ended up with too much wort. Of course, this reduced expected gravity as well. Since I do not want to bottle any thing out, I ended up pouring the overflow on the yeast bed of Experimentale 2 then corrected this recipe. The goal for this batch is to go short for yield. I'm hoping to yield about 4.5 gallons for a net of 5 gallons in primary.

Let us know how this brew goes, I enjoy beers that have wheat malt as a large percentage of the malt.
ReplyDeleteHey, just wanted to say I started reading your blog recently, and I really enjoy it. I'm a relatively new home-brewer/blogger, and your blog has been very interesting and helpful to read along the way. Keep it up! :)
