I just finished a "almost perfect" brew day. Three gallon biab kit from Northern Brewer, (Oatmeal Cookie Brown Ale). (Almost the last of these kits. Very soon, I'll only use the recipes from Brewing Classic Styles, as Scott had recommended several times).
After I had done my mash by the book, hovering around the kettle, I realized that my thermometer was flaky and had been reporting that the mash was 10 degrees (Farenheit) hotter than it really was, therefore, it was 10 degrees cooler than it should have been. Get this: my OG weighed in at 1.080!! I'm pretty much at a loss of what I'm going to wind up with. Maybe I can use it for fuel in my lawn mower.
I hydrated one package of Nottingham. I'm wondering how much it'll do before it flocks out. There should be enough cells since it's a 3 gallon batch.
I'm kind of afraid of the beer, It gowled at me when I walked into the room.
