Okay, so I'm making a honey blonde ale. All is good, I hit over target gravity but that's okay, I pour 2.5 gallons of iodophor solution into the fermenter to sanitize it, and while it's chilling I stretch a paint strainer over the bucket to strain out the hops. I pour the cold wort in, then see the bucket is filling up way quicker than it should. Yes, I forgot to dump out the iodophor.
Crap. Is there anything I can do here? If I boil it back down from 7.5 gallons to 5, will that cook out the iodine? Or will it still be undrinkable either way? It was a cheap brew at least, but that amount of time sunk into mashing and boiling makes me cry if I have to throw it all away.
