So a few weeks ago I brewed an Irish Stout from a recipe that I put together. I posted it on this blog actually. Well, that recipe was wrong. I got the Roasted Barley and the Flaked Barley mixed up. And then I went and ordered my ingredients for the wrong recipe. The real recipe calls for 2.5 pounds of Flaked Barley and 1.3 pounds of Roasted Barley. What did I order? 3 pounds of Roasted Barley and 2 pounds of Flaked Barley.
Worse yet, I didn't notice until I went to brew it. So we ended up with half a pound less Flaked Barley than I intended. It's not the end of the world, it will still be beer, but it will have less body than I wanted.
Someday I'll brew the recipe correctly.
