I just brewed and came out .010 low. According to the math I got 50% efficiency when I normally get around 75%. I tried a new sparge method for one and also I let my LHBS mill my grains which I normally don’t do but was in a hurry. I noticed him messing with his mill before hand and adjusting things by hand without measuring. I don’t know what I was thinking letting him do it but had some things going on. As I was dumping it in I thought it didn’t looked very cracked.
Anyway that’s not why I’m here. I only had half the amount of DME on hand that is needed to fix this and can’t get more for a couple days. I read some stuff about adding DME to secondary. Is this something I should do or just have the beer as is. I do plan to dry hop this beer, if I am going to add DME do I wait to dry hop? Also I was going to try dry hopping in the keg instead of moving to a carboy for the first time. Didn’t plan to have an airlock for that. Can I add DME to the primary in a couple weeks when it finishes then move to keg to dry hop? How long after adding DME do I wait to dry hop?
Thanks for any help.
