Your starter is fine, if my math was right. You got about 170 grams dme for 1.4 liters of water. Slightly high gravity for a starter, but it is going into a big beer also. The lttle guys should feel right at home. :mug:

I remember the first time I boiled in my flask, I had the same experience. Now I boil in my flask all the time, in fact I just did. I think the key is to learn your burner and watch it like a hawk till you do. I get a boil going with my dial on 2, but everyones is different. Dont give up yet!

Since the sugar is already extracted there is no need to add it to the mash. I would throw it in the boil myself.
