Screwed the water adjustment, now beer is super salty

+100 on the bratwurst boils. definitely worth a shot before tossing.

I went ahead and bottled it uncarbed for future use in food. I've boiled up some hot dogs in it, it came out pretty good.

It's really disappointing because I can tell it came out really well except for the salt. Oh well, better to learn the lesson on a cheap brown ale than a more expense brew...

Good for ya'. At least it wasn't a total waste. And I'm sure you'll be very aware of your process next time, so you did learn something. Good luck.
