Hi all,
First post nerves here, so bear with me.
I started homebrewing with beer kits about 3 months ago. I have so far done a Wilko Velvet Stout, a Bulldog DIPA which I added Grapefruit and a Wilko Woodfordes Real Ale which I added However, I have just begun a Youngs American Mocha Porter and feel I may have not added enough water. I wanted to increase the ABV, so increased the amount of Brewing Sugar (an additional 250g) and reduced the amount of water, I think it was about 17.5L. I also added 1kg Extra Dark Malt Spray and 500g of Lactose. Is the yeast going to be okay chomping through it all in the normal 3 weeks recommended time?
Many thanks in advance.
Ben
