|
|
Hey I'm brewing a Maibock (12 gal) using a Kal clone. For some reason I accidentally collected 17 gal from my sparge instead of 14.9. Obviously my pre-boil gravity was pretty low and off my anticipated numbers.
My plan to fix the problem is boil down until there's approx. 14.9 gal in my boil kettle and then start the timer on my 90 min boil.
Sound like a good plan?

Nailed it! 1.068 OG. Just what I had predicted.

Is there no issue/concern with "over cooking" the wort?
