I'm looking at making my own condensed extract, similar to what you would get in the cans from Mr. Beer or John Bull.
There are two reasons that I'm looking into this. First, when creating a heavy gravity beer this would give me more fermentables in the fermenter compared to if the water hadn't been boiled out, correct?
Second off, it would allow me to get ready many batches of beer in one weekend while all of my stuff is out and about.
Has anyone out there ever done this? In my mind, I just see boiling my sweet wort until much of the liquid has condensed. Is there anything wrong with doing this or is there anything I need to watch when doing it. If it's ok, should I hop it? I was thinking of pouring it into big quart size mason jars that I would freeze for use later, anything wrong with this either?
Thanks in advance,
Josh
