My very first AG was a Yorkshire Bitter - I'd only used kits and extract up to then and the wort was very sweet, but the AG wort didn't taste very sweet at all. So I decided that the mash had somehow "failed" and I put in a kilo of dex to be on the safe side.manticle said:So now you have much stronger beer than intended. Your SG was initially fine. That's what happens when you panic. Brewing doesn't need panic.
As I've posted before, my mate came round for the first tasting. It was wonderful but after four pints each I was wailing "Why did Princess Diana have to die?" and mate was a bit unsteady as well
