    I am an idiot

    After the boil, I ended up with just short of 5 gallons at 1.052 OG. It also tasted a little bit too bitter to me for an Oktoberfest. So, I went ahead and pitched my yeast (I used a starter), and also boiled a half-gallon of water with about 3 cups of pale malt extract. After letting it cool...

    I am an idiot

    Thanks for the replies... I lost 1.5 gal of the first runnings. I ended up adding a cup of pale malt extract, so basically treating it as a mostly grain partial mash. I'll check the gravity once the boil is done and see how far off I am... <crossing fingers>

The suggestions about leaving on...

    DMS(???) off flavors, will extended aging help?

    Hi all, new member here. I've been using this forum as a resource for a couple months now, so thanks! I'm wondering if anyone has ever tried this reboiling strategy - I looked through the wiki, the "Think you ruined your beer?" sticky for newbies, and did some google searches, and didn't find...
