Its all relative to how much malt and hops you put into the original boil. As long as your ingredients was targeting a 1 gallon batch, it should be ok. It would be hard to make a really hoppy IPA with that percentage of dilution, because hop utilization isn't as straight forward. 50% more water...

As long as its boiled to kill off any nasties from your well water, you should be fine. Its common to add water after a boil when doing larger batches if you don't have a brew pot large enough to do a full boil. Just remember to take your initial gravity reading AFTER the addition and not before...

Nice!

I'm early in the research phase for converting over to electric. I'm going to go with a single element brew in a bag style setup to keep costs down and keep things simple. One of the first things I picked up on was the need for a GFCI breaker, and saw how insanely expensive they are. I knew...

This diagram is also exactly what I was looking for. Even if the original requester decided not to use it, it still adds to the wonderful collection of knowledge contained in this forum.

I had a very similar problem and the fix was indeed replacing the post o-ring with a new one. The keg held pressure by itself. The whole CO2 system held pressure when not attached to this particular keg. But when this keg was connected it definitely leaked. Replaced the o-ring and so far no lost...
