I made the mistake of leaving my brewing equipment 4 hours away at school while I came home for Xmas break, now reading this forum gets me all excited to brew and I can't do anything about it!
Anyways, I'm jumping right from extract to AG with this (my fourth) brew. The problem: I just picked up what I thought was an awesome new BK, (5.5gal heavy duty stainless steel) before I did enough reading about AG and now I realize that most AG recipes produce pre-boil volumes of over 6 gallons. Is there any obvious solution to this without impacting quality too much? Top off water, adjusting sparge volume etc. Thanks.
