Hi, first of all All-Grain rocks!:rockin:
Today was a blast. Although I had several problems.
First of all my IC chiller sprang a leak and shot tap water into the beer. So I took it out fixed it and boiled again for 5 minutes. Is this OK?
Then when I finished chilling and transferring I realized that I boiled down from 7 gallons to 3 gallons!! Is that really possible in 90 minutes.
Anyway I added 2 gallons of bottled water to the finished product and my OG was 1.044. So that was really close to the projection.
Was adding bottled water OK??
Thanks for the help!
