Hi I brewed a belgian dark strong and was having a hard time hitting my 1.103 target gravity. I was planning on boiling for 1.5 hours but I ended up boiling for more like 3 hours because my gravity was too low. although the hops were only boiled for 60 mins. I may have just used too much water because after the very long boil I still ended up with 5 gallons in my fermenter. should I expect getting any off flavors from this like kettle carmalization or any thing?
