Did my first batch since acquiring a MM2. Crush looked good and resulting mash efficiency was 83.7%. Yeah me!
Problem is that the recipe was geared towards getting around 70% (like previous batches)
So after plugging numbers into BS, I am going to end up with a beer that is estimated to be 6.8% abv (intended to be 5.5%)
So with 10 minutes left in the boil, I am considering topping off with enough water to dilute it back to 5.5%
Can ( and should I ) do this???
