Discussion
Successful experiment

This has worked really well. I ended up with two plastic cubes of 1.059 wort (One had about 11 litres, the other about 17). I turned the first into a 21 litre 1.048 dark ale by mixing some steeped colour grains and a little LME. The second is likely to become an ordinary bitter, watered down to 1.038 or so. I think this will become my standard practice, especially when it comes to these ordinary bitters that are my mainstay. Less work for more wort!
