First I would like to thank everyone at HBT! Without the members here I would never have started this....obsession. I have been to other forums and found that the members here truly helpful, insightful, and you aren't beer snobs. Thnx.

Now on to business

I started an AG Graff yesterday the mash temp was way too low (I neglected to calculate for headspace in my MLT). I basically mashed at 148 for about an hour and a half. That fact combined with all of the simple sugars in the apple juice as well as the 2 lbs of brown sugar I put in..leads to a question..Do you think my beer is going to be way too dry? Is it going to be the cider/beer I was looking for or just become an Apfelwine?


Recipe: 5 gallon batch

4.5# German Light Munich
.5# crystal 120
2.oz torrified wheat
2lbs brown sugar
3 gallons of store bought apple juice at 1.046sg
.5 oz Sterling at 30min

2 gallon mash..1.5 sparge

mashed at ~148 (supposed to be 155/56)

batch sparge

boiled 1 hour -ended with 2.5 gallons

OG 10.71 @ 86% brewhouse

s-05 yeast- fermenting at 68 degrees (i live in a desert)



think it will be too dry? Can I add anything to help..if it does turn out very low FG?
