Well I thought it was amusing, the batch might be wasted but still going to go through the fermentation and bottling... still has to taste better than schlitz (no offense to any schlitz fans)...
First, (a lesson for the new brewers) 5 gallon kettle is a MUST, don't just put 2.5 gallons in a pot and say.... hmm looks ok. I had to drain some off into another pot after adding the extract for fear of over flowing.
A watched pot never boils, but turn your back, and said pot will drench your stove!! Got the wort back up to boiling, turned around to get the hops, and heard the oh so familure hiss of liquid hitting the burner... But at least I know that I have more room in my undersized pot now!! lol.
Still going through with the brew though, I hate wasting money so I will wait it out and hope my caribu slobber isnt a caribu slaughter....
No questions or anything (I learned my lessons for the next batch) Just thought this was an amusing story to put up for my first 5 gallon brew...
