So I was posting in the introductions space and realised this is probably more appropriate. Quick catch up on my first batch woes. I overboiled this IPA so ended up with 10.5litre batch when aiming for 15litre. I didn't take an OG reading.
It's now two weeks on and I just took a reading with a hydrometer showing 1.012. The hydrometer seems to suggest that 1.005 is where it's ok to bottle. Should I wait a few days/another week to see if it will fall to this?
Second is on priming. Some others have suggested that since I over boiled I could add water at the end, however I was going to try half the batch without topping up and half with. This however wouldn't work if using a priming sugar solution as this would be further diluted in the topped up version.
Any tips/advice would be great!
