Hey guys, Did my first brew today and it was a blast! Came up with a minor problem towards the end however... As it was time to put the wort in the fermentation bucket, I poured back and fourth between pot and bucket getting some good oxygen going. It created a good amount of foam so I stopped, I added about a gallon and a half of water and it was showing five gallons so I pitched my yeast. What I didn't account for was the head space appearing to be 5 and when it went away I was left with just shy of 4. I did a little research and came up with either add sterile water and stir lightly or let it ride a have a higher abv. The instruction called for a OG of 1.055 and I got 1.060. What's your guys opinions?
