First AG - EdWorts Haus Pale Ale - Q's

Wow that was fun! I made my keggle this morning and brewed EdWorts Haus Pale Ale. It even attracted a new neighbourhood cat who enjoyed licking the spills from the mash tun.

I only ended up with 4 Gallons of wort with an SG of 1.060. Ed's recipe calls for 5.5 gallons at 1.051.
Should I top it up with water to bring up the volume and reduce the SG?
If so, is there a way to calculate how much water to meet the required SG?

Thanks.

There's a tool in Beersmith that would help you with that. I ran the numbers, and if you want an sg of 1.051, you can add .75 gallon. If you just want to top off to 5 gallons, you'd have an s.g. of 1.048.

Good job on the first AG! Edworts Pale Ale is up next for me!

Congratulations! It's great when an all-grain goes perfectly. I've got Ed Wort's coming up next too.

Congratulations on the AG brew. I've got Edwort's Haus PA in the fermenter now, cant' wait to drink it.

Wow it fermented in under 3 days!
What a ripper!
