I just made my first all grain batch. Unfortunately, my mash temps were high and I ended up missing my OG by quite a bit. Target is 1.047 and I only got to 1.032! The wort is cooled and is still in my brew kettle and I have not pitched my yeast.
My thought is to put the BK back on the burner, bring it up to boil again and add enough DME to achieve my target OG. I envision boiling for no more than 20 minutes. This is a small batch (2 gallons) and I've already figured how much DME will be needed to hit target.
Has anyone ever done a re-boil to achieve target OG? Is there anything else I need to consider (besides controlling my mash temp better next time?)
