Rocket fuel

Post by adams81 » Thu Mar 07, 2013 3:25 pm

In our most recent kit batch of brewing a buddy of mine went a little crazy with the table sugar in an IPA. He also made some "hop tea" in a hope of balancing out whatever increase in ABV he saw.

Fast forward a week and now his beer is very hoppy and approximately 10% ABV, but with very little body. Is there anything that can be done to balance out the flavour prior to bottling? We're looking into back-sweetening but don't really know if it's the right thing to do.

I'd say your best bet is to brew another batch and blend.
At Alexander Keith's we follow the recipes first developed by the great brewmaster to the absolute letter. :wtf:
