I made a FLying Dog - Raging ***** clone but ended up with a little over 5 gallons rather than the 6 i was shooting for. I didn't realize so much would boil off - I lost probably over two gallons but it's a pretty wide pot so that could be why.
OG reads at 1.1 (yipes) so I'm wondering if I should water down the fermenter so they yeast can manage the sugar load without going over the alcohol limit of Belgian Ardennes (Wyeast Labs #3522) which I think is around 12%.
I'd still like to bottle condition, so this is pretty important.
Should I water it down? I've got some weak (unboiled) wort that I could boil and toss in as well.
Anyone have ideas?
