This might be a bit long:
So last night me and my dad started brewing a pale ale. We did all the stuff and then took an original gravity and it was around1.110!! so we were like wtf is goin on...our hydrometer must be broken. So today we went to a local brew shop and told the guy about what happened and he said, "did u add enough water??" we thought 8 cups was a gallon and actually it is 16 cups. So we only had about 2 gallons of water in ouyr wort. So my dad was just like who cares and screw it...but since i bought this kit with my own money i wanted to get all 5 gallons. Since the wort had only been fermenting for a night i thought why not try to add an extra 3 gallons and get all my beer. Just now i added three gallons of water and now im worried that i might have hurt it. The bubbling in the air cap stopped (im not surprised...i just wish it would start again so i dont have to worry anymore). Do u guys think it will be allright? I think it just bubbled but i had to much water in my air lock and water started to get everywhere...so i had to take the top off and ket so water out and now it stopped bubbling again .
