I bought a Scotch Ale DME+LME kit from my local store and according to the recipe I should have O.G. between 1.045 and 1.050 but I ended up with about 1.036 at best. My specific question is not whether to add more extract. Instead, I would like your opinions on using a gallon or so of the original wort, which has been fermenting for three days now, to boil the additional extract so that I still end up with five gallons. Thanks!
