The other day I brewed an IPA up, and after sparging I achieved my desired pre-boil volume of 6.5 gal. I boiled for 60 minutes as usual, but unexpectedly came out wayyy below my usual 5.5 gal post-boil volume. I was all the way to just above 3 gallons! I added enough water to bring it up to 4gallons, but I can only imagine what that will do to the end result. Any ideas why this may have happened? I used the same equipment as usual. The only difference was that I used tap water for the first time instead of packaged water. Also, any idea what the end product will taste like after adding nearly a gallon of water after the boil? Thanks.
