#1: pay attention when brewing lol. I was breaking my new batch of wit up into two boils, because I have 2 small kettles but not a big one. So, I get a nice rolling boil and without thinking, I dump all of my DME and honey right into the pot. (I was supposed to add half of my ingredients.) I immediately freaked out and called my HBS but was advised to just dilute the concentrated wort and everything should be fine.
But, now the question arises: I have a little over 5 gallons in a 6.5 gallon carboy. Is the blow-off tube necessary? Or should I just throw a fermentation lock on there? (Relaxing, not worrying, having a homebrew)
