So I just transferred a batch to secondary, and decided to weigh the bucket once I was done. Since we know water weighs about 8 lbs per gallon, and I was only at 32 lbs, I am wondering....can I add a gallon of distilled water at this point to,get me to 5 gallons? I'd like to end up with 2 full cases at bottling time.
this batch started at 1.06 and is currently at 1.02. Its a blonde ale with the following ingredients:
3.3 lbs lme (late boil addition for lighter color)
4 lbs pilsen dme ( split 2/2 at beginning and last 15 minuges of boil)
2 lbs dry rice syrup extract added at last 15 min. Of boil
2 oz of liberty hops...1 oz at start of boil, 1/2 oz at final 15 mins, ans 1/2 oz at the end of the boil.
I primary'd for 8 days, my gravity stayed consitent for the last 3 days prior to tranferring to 2ndary. I dont know how I ended up at 4 gallons....i know I started at 5, and I have no leaks or anything. I know beer is resilient and hard to ruin ( thanks to revvy ), but I figured I would try the resources here....im sure you guys have seen it all....twice. Lastly, I promise, I did try to search for this before starting the thread. Just sayin'
Thanks for any help.
