I did my first all grain yesterday. It was fun and went OK. I boiled about 6 gallons of wort for an hour and lost almost 2 gallons. Might have to do with the fact that it was around 55 degrees outside and raining. The SG on my 4 gallons of wort that went in the fermenter was 1.070. My target was 1.053 for five gallons. i have already pitched the yeast and it is fermenting fine. My question is should I add some water to the carboy to get my gallons up and my gravity down? Is it too late? i had to go to a show after i was done and didn't have time to ask before I pitched. Here is what I was brewing, a Drop Top Clone. Thanks for comments and ideas.
