Had a problem with my Nut Brown Ale recipe today. Tried doing a 6 gallon BIAB (first time for a brew this size) and I had a target volume of 6 gallons with an OG of 1.058 and I ended up with a 5 gallon batch with an OG of 1.078. Just realized this after it has been in the fermentor bucket for the last 90 minutes with the yeast pitched.
Should I just leave this as is or add a gallon of water at this point and transfer to a larger bucket?
[The source of my error is that I assumed I would have an efficiency of 60% with BIAB since this was my first large BIAB session and I had far more boil off than expected.]
