SO I ran out of propane around the 50th minute of my boil. Besides missing my target SG, what other effects could that have?
 
slightly lower bitterness. i assume you where counting on the evaporation to reduce your volume and increase your SG?
 
exactly, I was hoping for a 60 minute boil, and I've had problems with too much evaporation before, so I adjusted the amount of wort I was collecting out of the mash tun. So now I have just over 5 gallons of wort for a five gallon carboy.
 
that would of been suicide anyway. the wort is going to over flow like crazy in a 5 gallon carboy. hope you got a blow off tube.
 
Highly aware of the potential suicide, it was more like having 3 1/4 gallons of wort, with too high a SG. Blow off tube ready!
