It's not hard, but I'm a little OCD about taking measurements.
On my last batch of beer, I had about 2 Gals of wort that I then added three gallons of water into, then I took the OG reading. The problem is that the reading was low (or off) due to there being too much water that I had just added.
My question is this, should I take the hydrometer reading before adding the 3 Gals of water to my next batch? OR Should I add the additional water and be careful to mix it more thoroughly before taking the reading?
