Judging how the day was going prior to the commencement of the my second AG brew session, I should have known to double check everything just in case. In my haste to get going, I forgot to check the hose clamps on my wort chiller. So, after the boil, in goes the chiller and I wait until it is cool. Little did I know that a leak at the hose connection had allowed 2 gallons of unboiled water into my fresh wort. So after much cursing and stomping around I admitted defeat. I probably could have boiled the excess water off but I was concerned about the effect it would have on the finished product. OG with the extra 2 gallons was 1.020...S#$T.
