So folks I have a little story to impart. I was moving along fine on my latest batch of beer (a winter warming ale) when I moved on to the boil phase. With my trusty turkey fryer roaring, I placed my 7 gallons of wort on the burner outside. However, in the process of the boil I FELL ASLEEP and was failed to be woken up. Anyhow, when I came to a few hours later my beer was still on burner and maintaining a temp of about 170 F. The volume has gone down to about 5 gallons and there is noticeable chunks of protein in the wort.
So the question is, can I put this batch on hold for half a day and try to just top her off, reboil and just continue to truck on from there, or should I just bite the bullet and buy new grains? I would appreciate your folk's thoughts and/or humorous stories of similar situations.
