Hey guys. I did my 2nd all grain tonight. I really planned on doing mostly grain with DME to bring me to the proper OG, but this low gravity brew didn't need it.
I filled my boil kettle to its safe capacity (7 gal) and had some left over wort from the sparge. It was 1.014 (temp adjusted) so I put it in the fridge.
When I chilled the wort, I ended up with 5 gal in the primary, and added about two quarts of this chilled, non-boiled, sparged wort figuring at least it had sugar in it.
What are the pros and cons of this addition? You ever done it? Any reason I shouldn't do it?
