Has anyone ever topped up their beer with,well... beer? I was thinking about this last night. What if you were about a gallon shy of 5gal. Would you ever top up with a GOOD commercial beer of the same type?
You could say the same about making wine. I am simply trying to find out if anyone has any reason not to. Many wine kits advise people to top up with water. Most people who make wine kits do not. (myself included.) we simply top up with a similar wine. to get back to the finished volume of 6gal.If you are brewing beer then why muddle it with another beer. Why brew at all?

What's the big deal with only having 4 gallons of good homebrew? I don't get the magic 5 gallon amount. It's just seems odd to me that you are more concerned with having 5 gallons than having a good homebrew.
Make another batch and you'll have another 5 gallons of good homebrew to fill the rest of your bottles.
