Forgive me if there is something I'm missing, I haven't slept well lately and I'm not thinking clearly.
Why is it common practice for partial boilers to cool their wort, add top up water to an exact volume, and then check gravity? Why not cool, check gravity, then add water to top up to a specific gravity. That way, if your gravity is off, you'll fix it and end up with a little less beer - but a little less beer of what you intended it to be recipe wise.
