Going to be brewing a 5 gal Modus Hoperandi clone batch (extract & specialties) this weekend and will be using a pre-measured Burton Water Salts packet to condition my distilled water. It says 1 packet per 5 gallons of water.
I'll be starting off with ~7 gallons to account for cold weather boil-off, trub, etc.. Do I need to up the amount of salts due to the higher volume or calculate it based on what my fermenter volume will be ... 5+ gallons? I'm just concerned about the boil-off concentrating the salts if I put in something like 1 1/2 packets.
Thanks
