It has been 2 full weeks now since I made my Honey Hibiscus Wit and I was shooting for a ABV 8%. The original recipe comes out to 4.8%. I just checked my FG, did the math and it came out to 6%. Here is the ingredients
1 lb Flaked Oats
1 1/4 lb Belgian Pils Malt
1 lb White Wheat
155 for 45 min
1 lb Honey
3 lb Wheat Extract
2 lb Extra Light DME (original didn't include this)
2 lb Wheat DME (original was 1 lb)
1 oz Hallertau - 30 min
1/2 oz Cracked Coriander Seed - 15 min
4 oz Hibiscus - 15 min
1/2 oz Bitter Orange Peel - 5 min.
Belgian Wit Ale 400 Yeast
OG 1.070
FG 1.024
6.03% ABV
The color looks awesome and it tastes really really really good too. Guess I shouldn't worry seeing that it tastes so good but I really wanted to make it 7.5 - 8%. Did I do something wrong?
