Big brew day tomorrow, and the instructions call for steeping the grains in 2.5 gallons of water for 20 minutes, and then boiling with bittering and flavoring hops for ~1 hour. I suspect I will have less than 2 gallons left after an hour of boiling. Do I keep adding water to the boil or is the boil off important for the wort? I know I add water post-boil to bring the wort to the right gravity before pitching the yeast, correct?
Thanks for any clarification! My first brew was done under supervision of a seasoned brewer but I'm tacking 1/2 grain 1/2 extract all by myself tomorrow.
