   1. Boil too short so OG too low - how should I fix it?

      Hi,
      
      This is my first post and I'm a new brewer so please excuse me if I don't get some of the jargon right!
      
      I brewed this morning using the BIABacus to scale the recipe, but I forgot (and don't know how) to tell it that I had a 60 minute boil, not 90 mins. Now I have a wort at 1.042 instead of 1.046 and I want to fix it instead of having weak beer.
      
      I have two ideas:
      - boil for 30 more mins, add more aroma hops near flame out
      - add DME to get the gravity up
      
      What would you recommend, why and...

      Dave Ing,
      
      Sounds like a regular brew day to me? Take care and relax. Brewing gets easier each time you do it. You still screw up, but previous brews make brewing more enjoyable.
