Thanks! How'd you figure that out??

I have about 4.6 gallons of 1.08 cooled wort. How much water do I add to get the OG down to 1.073? Can anyone help me with the math for this? My high school chemistry is failing me! (yeah, I know I could just add a few pints of water and shake it up and check again, but I don't like...

I just brewed this version of MOM's Hefeweizen... Pitched big with pacman, and it totally fermented out in 5 days... tasted it tonight.. DELICIOUS!! I think I'll keg tomorrow! I guess i could pitch smaller and get more of the fruity esters, but it's OK, like a clean american Hefe (Widmere ish)...

Two weeks ago I brewed an IPA using a 1L starter of Pacman I harvested from a Shakespeare Stout. I pitched at 68 degrees, the fermentation was insane, blow off tube full of krausen and it looked like hurricane in the carboy. Two days ago I pitched a 2L starter from some washed yeast from the...

I make 6 gal batches, with a 5 gal boil, and add 1 gal to the primary. I always seem to come up short on my OG. I would like to be able to measure the OG in the kettle, and account for the added gallon of water. That way I can add some more DME to get it up if necessary. So my math says that...

Looking to make a yellow snow ipa clone myself, how did this one turn out? What's Maris Otter? is it a light extract?
