I am in the middle of my first AG batch. I missed my starting gravity by a long shot, what should I do now?
Recipe:
12lbs 2 row Rahr
8oz White Wheat
8oz Carapils
12oz Crystal 15L
Batch sparged Mash 152 degrees for 60 min. First runnings were 2.8 gal 1.070. Second runnings were 3.9 gal 1.020. Pre-boil gravity 1.040. Was shooting for 1.052 based on Beer Smith.
Should I just go with it and boil for 60 min.
-or-
Boil longer to try to get to post boil 1.058? If I boil longer, approximately how many gallons would be left? Started with 6.7 gal.
