I did a 90 min. boil, started at 7 gal. finished at 5.5 gal. I should've checked my pre-boil gravity, just something I forgot. I think i'm going to dump another 3/4 pound sugar in the fermentor try to get the yeast to finish up a little lower. Will see what happens!

Beer came out great...
Does anyone know how long crush grain will last. I think I will order more base grain so it will be double just to cut back on the heaviness a little and brew one fisrt than after I rack, brew the other and if possible can I rack the second one on the same yeast cake in the primary, that would...
How bad do you thing it would come out Brewed the way it is?
Man I would hate to chunk it and start over especially with the cost, but i don't have the equipment to brew that much.
