So I brewed yesterday and was rushing towards the end. I brew 2.5G batches and my batch came up short on water. Ever since I started doing a full BIAB method with just a mashout and no sparging (which has actually increased my effeciency), I've been coming up short on water at the end. Not sure why Beersmith 2 keeps telling me low numbers on my volumes. I always keep ending up short even though I set the mash profile to BIAB. I also have my equipment profile set up properly too....but all that is beside the point.
The question is, at the end I was over my measured OG a bit, because I came up a touch short on water. Ended up at about 2.1 or 2.2 gallons and an OG of 1.054....estimated was 1.052. If I had topped up I woulda hit my marks perfectly. I was in a rush though and chose to leave it be. I was wondering if it would be ok to siphon in some more (boiled, cooled) water during fermentation or after fermentation to set it straight or if it's not ok to do that and I should just leave it be.
Thanks in advance.
