Normally with my setup (10 gallon Mash tun & HLT + 15.5 gallon Keggle) I have an issue with under shooting my O.G. So today I brewed my Old Ale recipe:
18 lbs 12.0 oz Pale Malt, Maris Otter
12.0 oz Caramel/Crystal Malt - 80L
4.0 oz Carafa III
2.00 oz Magnum [14.00 %] - Boil 60.0 min
1 lbs Treacle [Boil for 10 min]
1.0 pkg Dry English Ale (White Labs #WLP007)
I hit a pre-boil g of 1.090, so I felt pretty good. A did a 2L starter for three days and thought the yeast would hold up. But then I had to take 3 readings to make sure but my O.G ended up 1.136.
I finally got my high OG but after talking to a fellow brewer, this may be too high. Is this something I should worry about? Should I add some yeast nutrient? Any Ideas?
