I haven't seen anything where a wort was boiled down to a syrup after
extracting....it probably happened the same way "reduced stocks" 
happened and were served. "No really it is a demi glace, it is SUPPOSED
to be that way...eat it!"

I think if it was done Digby would have covered it, but I haven't done all
that much reading on brewing *yet*.
