So I brewed an extract IPA last week, mostly a Stone clone variation, steeped specialty grains. Used wlp007, was done in 24 hours pretty much. Racked to secondary today.. And my volume was fairly short. I had heard that you don't want much headspace in the secondary. So I added bottled water (racked it). Maybe 1/2-3/4 gal... Put the airlock back in and dropped it back in chest freezer back at 67deg. After the fact it dawned on me I should have boiled the water to take the oxygen out. I plan on two more weeks in the chest freezer, plan on 2-stage dry hopping.
Soo did I ruin it with the water? Or will I basically have to wait to find out after bottle conditioning? Think it have too much Diacetyl?
Would it help to up the temp for a couple days to 70 or so?
