To begin...I am a noob.
Long story short I added 8oz of Malt Extract to my wort instead of 3lbs (there was confusion in the instructions and the missing Malt Extract from the 'kit').
Fermentation was active withing 24 hours...yay
After 6 days I transferred to the secondary and dry hopped (which made the beer 'angry' for a bit). Now I have a gnarly green plug of American Magnum hop sludge at the top of my carboy (which is OK I think).
I am set to bottle in a couple days so the current slug of hops doesn't get too funky...
Is my DIPA now neutered to an IPA?....or an over-hopped PA?
Or am I gonna have some brown colored uber hoppy water due to the serious lack of sugars when brewing?
Any 'fixes', or just chalk this batch up to experience? Or maybe dump and try again?
any and all advice appreciated
