This is my primary fermenter bubbling away in an unused bathtub. When I made it, I made a mistake and didn't get enough water mixted into the wort prior to pitching, and now I think I made a super concentrated batch of beer.
For those of you who are experts at this, I have two questions.
1) How much beer is in there? Thats supposed to be a 6 gallon pale, but I used about 4 and 1/3rd gallons of water and all 6lbs of the liquid malt extract, not sure how much that would count for in the quantity. There are no measurements on the side of the pale to indicate exactly how much is in there.
2) When I make my primer with sugar, am I OK to use a gallon (or whatever) of water instead of a pint in order to bring the volume back up to a normal level? I really don't think I want super condensed beer, do I?
Thanks as always.
