I was cleaning up the grain bin I found 4 pounds of 2 row. 3 pounds of DME pils, 1 pound of flaked maze and for some reason that I can't seem to remember i found 1 pound of rice syrup solids. I wanted to use up the old stock and get ready for the Märzen I wanted to brew next month
I punched the the numbers into Brewfather and came up with an OG of 1.053. Great thinks I. I nice summer beer while I lager the Märzen. I adjusted the water volume for a 17 litres ( 4.5 gal.) in the Brewfather app
Here is what happened: 4.5 gallon batch to be brewed so I could fermenting in corny keg. Using the "scraps" from last year.
4lbs. 2 row
3 lbs. DME
1 lb. flaked maize
(here8s where I think I went off the rails)
! lb. Rice syrup solids
Mashed in at 65c (149f) for ! hour. Added 14 grams(1/2 oz.) Magnum 14.5 aa hops at his time
At ten minutes left in the boil I added 28 grams (1 0z.) Saaz 3.4 aa
Chilled wort then added Lutra dried KVeik yeast.
When I took a hydrometer reading after wort had cooled I got a reading of 1.076! I have never got any reading like this before. My questions are has anyone brewed a beer with this high of a reading, will it me drinkable and how strong is this going to be is going to be an 8% beer like the app predicts.
