Let's say that I brewed a beer and used way, way too much malt extract and way, way too little water. Let's say I even threw in 2 yeast packages because the starting gravity was so far off (above 1.1). And let's say that I tasted the beer two weeks later, and it basically tastes like 10% abv + wort.
What do I do to save this?
edit: Few extra details... OG was over 1.1, after fermentation it's down to maybe 1.065? Forget exactly, but suffice to say it tastes like boozy sugar water. I'm working with about 3 gallons of beer, for what is allegedly going to be some sort of DIPA.
What am I hoping to hear? I am hoping to hear something along the lines of "oh, just throw more water and yeast in it" or something simple to fix it. That would be ideal, but I have no idea if that is possible at this point in the process.
The "beer" is currently 3 weeks old.
