If a batch is supposed to be 5 gal but only ends up being 4.5 gal, is it ok to add in an extra half gallon of water to the secondary fermenter? I would boil the water first and then cool it down to the same temp as the wort in the secondary. I think i forgot to add the extra half gallon when i filled the primary. The FG reading is about 4 points higher than the recipe is calling for and my reasoning is to add the extra half gallon of water to bring the gravity down those last 4 points or so.
