Who here boils down leftover runnings?
I mash in a bag and often have a few quarts of wort after sparging. I put an upside down colander in a bucket and put the bag right on top.
After two minutes or so, and with a little light compression, I can get another three qaurts or so.
When making an outmeal stout yesterday, I collected 3 quarts and boiled it down to a quart (on the stove) while the kettle was doing it's thing.
The collected runnings were 1.045 and after condensing, 1.085.
I dumped it into the kettle and it brought my OG up a couple of points. It was very tastey.
Anyone else do something similar? If so, what have your results been?
