    Adding water after primary fermentation

    I've drank about 7 of them. They taste a little darker and still very carbonated but tastes decent.

    Adding water after primary fermentation

    Update to this thread. I bottled the beer about 2 1/2 weeks ago. I added priming sugar with a full pot of water boiled, cooled, and bottled. Refrigerated one bottle today and tried it. Hard to pour without creating a ton of head. Tasted like a darker red ale. Not bad. Any reason as to why...

    Adding water after primary fermentation

    If I add water will it water the beer down and ruin it? Will it screw up the yeast?

    A little bitter. Not quite sure how to explain it. Decent flavor just a little tangy

    Adding water after primary fermentation

    At that SG do you think I would screw up the batch adding water to get it near 5 gallons or should I leave it alone?

    Adding water after primary fermentation

    I have an idea by looking. It's a plastic carbon - better bottle. I just checked the SG it was 1.020. Now I'm baffled even more

    Adding water after primary fermentation

    I will take another reading here in a bit. Question on that - after sanitizing and rinsing, should I let it dry or is it ok to make contact with the wort when my thief and hydrometer is wet? The recipe was a kit from Midwest supplies for Irish red ale. First steeped grains for 30 min at 155...

    Adding water after primary fermentation

    Ha! Well it almost black and it's supposed to be a darker red. I did take a huge sample when I first made a reading and didn't return it to the bucket, In a coffee thermos ( poured) because I didn't know any better at the time. And not positive if the hydrometer was off the bottom. I am going...

    Adding water after primary fermentation

    I started my first brew - Irish red ale. I added the wert to the primary fermenter bucket and after a week I have transferred over to a Carboy. Now, the part I screwed up, I did not add water after dumping into the primary fermenter. I only have about 2.5-3 gallons in the fermenter. If I add a...
