Hi Guys,
Last night I made up 2 brews. Both Pilsners with the same base recipe, just different hop additions and yeast. Both target OG of 1045
Base Recipe =
3kg Briess Extra Pale LME
300g LDME
300g Dextrose
Both 6 litre boils,
a) 130g Tettnang in a 60 minute boil with WY2124 and;
B) 130g Saaz & 30g Tettnang in 60 minute boil with WY2278
Let them chill overnight and throughout today, got home tonight and prior to pitching the yeast took gravity readings. Recipe A was bang on at 1045, but Recipe B was 1060 - wtf??
Can anyone enlighten me as to why their could be such a stark difference when the same base ingredients and procedures were used for both?
Appreciated,
Mut
