so i got a recipe from a friend of mine, it's basically hoegarden with apple cider added to it. goes something like:
- 3 gallons of hoegarden (brew as per the usual)
- 2 gallons of apple cider (added after primary)
my hoegarden is ready to be mixed with the cider, kegged and cooled quickly to prevent the cider from fermenting. i tasted the hoegarden today... it was good but something was off. i realized then that i actually used enough grain and extract for 5 gallons not thinking about the lack of water that would be added after the boil.
the 3 gallons of beer has been in primary for 10 days... can i add 2 gallons of water at this point to dilute the now 3 gallons of super strong hoegarden?
