2 days ago I boiled a batch and transferred to a carboy for fermentation.
When I was pouring into the carboy, the wort was still a bit hot and my carboy (plastic) warped a bit at the bottom, so the inside volume is a bit lower than it should be. So basically after I added water to the wort I'm not sure if I have a full 5 gallons, I'm kind of having to eyeball it.
I was wondering if it would harm anything to add more water once I siphon into my secondary so that I can make sure I have exactly 5 gallons of liquid?
(I'll be using a glass carboy from here on out, also.)
