Hey guys,
I brewed Yooper's Fat Squirrel amber ale last week. All grain in the kitchen
I really missed my OG. It was 1.010. Yikes! My digital thermometer readings were all over the place as I noticed later so that might have been the reason.
Anyways, I set up to boil up some pale extract (7#) to add and I decided to bump up the bittering hops as I had only used .5oz of Simcoe and I didn't think it would be noticeable. I decided to use an oz of Columbus for the extract boil. Then midway through the one hour boil I realized that this might be too much (Yooper used .5 Chinook- a comparable hop) so I cut the boil at 35 mins.
Anyways, I am wondering what to do with it now. I have another oz of Columbus that might make a nice dry hop? (WHAT DO YOU THINK?)
I also could leave it as is. I also have .5oz Goldings, 1.4oz Fuggles, 1.4oz Perle, and 2oz Northdown.
So I have lots of options. One is to leave it as is. I know Yooper cruises this forum so I put my question here.
thanks in advance
