Hi guys, I recently brewed a Witbeer, and I am fermenting it in a 6-gallon bucket. (HDPE, of course)
What I was wondering is this: There was no 5-gallon mark on the bucket, so I just filled it up to where I figured the 5 gallon mark would be. (it made sense at the time and still does)
The wort had boiled down to approx 4.5 gallons, and I had to top it off to (supposedly) 5 gallons with additional boiled Reverse-Osmosis water.
If I improperly diluted the wort prior to fermentation, would it bee progressing normally?
Also, if I bottled an improperly diluted beer, what would be the result? A more strongly-tasting beer?
Finally, if I find that it is improperly diluted, would it be possible to add more water when transferring it for secondary fermentation? Or perhaps when priming?
Thanks!
