I just finished a 5.5 gallon extract version of this. I started with a boil size of 6.57 and ended with just a shade over a 5.0 gallon batch. How will this half gallon difference affect my end result?
I made my first batch ever. I think I kinda messed up. After my boil and cool down. I poured it into the fermenting bucket. I ended up with 5 gallons. Should I have added a half a gallon of water or let it be? What will the results be 5 versus 5.5?
I am making this as my first brew. I am going the extract version. Will there be any difference between Munson's extra light dme and Briess extra light dme?
