I decided to do a dunk sparge instead of the pour over, yikes preboil gravity was supposed to be 1048 based on my past efficiency, preboil turns out to be 1060. There is a pound of honey to add around 5 minutes, should I scale the honey back a bit? Or should I add the full amount, and see where that takes me?
Thanks, I chose to add the pound of honey, OG ended up only 3 points higher than intended, at 1075, and an expected FG of 1021, this puts the expected ABV at 7.09. I am very happy with this! As usual I tasted the gravity sample, nice hint of ginger and cinnamon, but too damn sweet to get a feel for how it may turn out... other than potent!I think 1lb of Honey will add about 8% to the OG - well according to the recipe builder that is. How strong do you want it? The more the merrier for a Xmas brew in my opinion In any case it will be good. Have a good time.
