Not Mai(My)-Bock Enough...Don't brew after work

Just when you think you are really starting to get a handle at this home brewing thing the brew throws you a curve.

Okay, unlike last week I finally got a hold of the right type of grains for a Maibock. All was going good until...well here's what happened.

My normal brew days, up to this point, have been on the weekend, but my back felt a little whacked out over the weekend, so I put it off a couple days.  I figured brewing on a Monday would give my back a little rest and give me something to do while the Mrs. was out of town on business. I was so wrong.

I made a lot more mistakes this time round. The mistakes I made was simple stuff too.  I spilled water while adding it to the grain in the mash tun. I over compensated and added more water than the water I lost. I even missed my mark on the temp for the protein rest.  It was like that all night.

The end result of this is that I missed the OG on the Maibock

Don't brew tired after work.  That's all I'm saying.
