What now???

 

[Chairman Cheyco]

How much wort did you get out?

 

[Brewiz]

How much wort did you get out?

Right now I am at about 10 gal and still getting a reading of about 14 plato.

 

[Chairman Cheyco]

What's the gravity of the wort you've collected?

 

[Brewiz]

18 plato getting ready to start my boil and hope to get it up to target...

 

[Chairman Cheyco]

According to your promash report, your pre-boil gravity should be 18 plato, so it looks like you're ok.

That's what I'm at but I also have about 3 gals too much wort so I think I will have a 2-2.5 hr boil instead of 90 min...

 

[Chairman Cheyco]

Hope you got lots of cold brew around!

That I do have and luckily my "Brew-Bitch" today was my 15 yr old son, who can only taste "The Necter of the Gods" and not consume it in mass quanities....

I wish I could brew at noon on a Tuesday. You are one lucky man. So is the young nectar sipper.
