Forgot to add grains

[Bucks-04]

So I was mid boil and found grains I forgot to add. So I just finished the boil and then did another mash. I just plan on added the 2nd mash to the first and then add yeast. Do you see any issues or concerns?

Two concerns:
1. Your final volume will increase, decreasing your OG.
2. You aren't boiling your 2nd mash which would be a big mistake.

How much grain did you forget and was it base malt or an adjunct? If you forgot a small amount of base malt I would say **** it and leave it as is. If you forgot an adjunct I would do a mini-mash and boil it for 5-10 min before cooling and adding it to the fermentor. If you forgot a substantial amount of base malts and you already mashed+sparged at full volume.... I don't know what to tell you.

I will still be good with volume because I boiled more off on the first mash. I will boil the 2nd mash for about 10 min. I forgot carapils, crystal 60l and victory malt.

Go for it.
