Damn reduced boils!

I ended up with a reduced boil, so the OG was 1080. I added 3L water to bring it down from a strong dark category, to more of a dubbel, but it then made it a bit thin... I think I'll just live with a lower volume in future. Tastewise, it could use a few more months, but it's nice. The raisins added a bit of "something" to it too.
