      Hello this is my third batch of beer and i missed my OG by quite a bit. My target OG was 1.046 and i only achieved 1.032. I think i may have missed my target because i milled my own grain this time around. I was wondering would it be too late to add DME or LME after three days of fermenting??(my yeast was US-05) Or do you think i should leave it alone??

      I have never done that, but the yeast would work on that too.

Also the recipe calls for 7days primary and 30 days secondary would this change with the warmer temps? My plan was to keep...

      The fermentis website has a datasheet for each yeast that offers fermentation ranges. For 34/70 they say fermentation temperature: 9-22°C (48.2-71.6°F) ideally 12-15°C (53.6-59°F) .
