I brewed JZ's Munich Madness today. After a double batch sparge, I dumped my remaining hot water in the tun and let it recirc for a bit. I ended up with about three quarts of 1.025 wort. I'm inclined to just can it up as it is.


Would you can it? Would you boil it down to 1.030 or 1.040?
 
It'll work, you may want to step it up depending on your brew of course, but it should get started.

I think 1.025 is exactly what it's supposed to be. That's what I do
anyway, maybe different for very high gravity beers but I don't make
those.
