Hi Brewers,
I brew beer in 2.5 gallon batches. I actually only brew up the mash in a pot that holds about 1.5 gallons, and then top up to 2.5 gallons by adding bottled water to the fermentation vessel. Tonight I have just realised I only have 2 gallons in the fermentor, and have not got time to boil another lot of water and wait for it to cool. I am planning on topping up the rest tomorrow with bottled water. Will that be okay? Should I stir or just pour in gently?
Any help most appreciated.
