alright I'll stop being lazy - I was adding 1/2 gallon growlers to measure off but then i lost count of how many 1/2 gallons i added. So I just added 1/2 gallons to where i thought 6 would be. then took out a gallon of a time and marked what was left. In the end i guessed right.
So FYI - 5 gallons is about 1/3 inch above the bottom of the top ridge.
i hope this post is English....

so you posted this thread instead of emptying out the BB and starting over and paying attention to how many gallons of water you added

What does this have to do with AG or PM brewing?

I figured someone would have something like this! Thanks!
to the OP
I use a bit of masking tape to mark where I need to be on my carboys
this is something you should look in to for future brews

Today is my first 5 gallon batch, graduated from Mr. Beer! I too have a 6 gallon Better Bottle and found this post very useful! I love this forum!
Yeah, it's on their website.
