I brewed an oatmeal porter today and had 3 gallons left over from the mash. From that I boiled it down until runny syrup consistency with a volume of 36 OZ. My hydrometer does not go that high to get a s.g. reading. If i had to guess it was around 1.2-1.5? It smelled and tasted wonderfully of coffee, molasses, and chocolate. I added that amount to my fermenter before adding my yeast. Anybody ever do something similiar? Just curious about what S.G. contributions this can add. And anybody's personal experience with flavors etc. if they've done it.
14 gallon AG batch. 1.053 into fermenter before adding the syrup.
