I did a 10g recipe of an Oktoberfest, because the SWMBO loved my last batch. I mashed 1.5qts/lb if grain (26 lbs of grain)....I sparged 1.33qts/lb, even though I got conflicting directions on this...I ended up with 13g of wort to boil. So pre-boil my OG was 1.050, a decent target I guess.... The question is, I have an additional 3g of wort left over. What do I do?
One suggestion was to boil it for an extra hour or two into my batch...then start my one hour count down. Well, I set it aside and now have 3 gallons of wort, not yet boiled. Keep it and make something with hops laying around or pitch it?
If the picture attaches ok, the unused wort is in the pot in front of the carboys.
