Have a strange thought and need enlightenment from the brethren.
A brew has just finished. After kegging I'll have a few litres spare. Rather than bottle, I was wondering if its viable to boil (reduce) this excess down and add to a second kegged brew which lacks just a little "oomph" and could do with a blending. Its a blending exercise. However normally you boil down first runnings wort and add to the main wort before fermentation. Will boiling post fermentation (with obviously less sugar) have any useful benefits ? Or a detriment I can't rationalise?
