First timer here, just finished putting my first run in the fermenter but think I may have messed up. I made the northern brewer caribou slobber recipe but I think that I might have messed up. First, I apparently over-cooled my wort to 60 degrees before I moved to the fermenter. I think that will probably affect my yeast (dry). Second, I think I added too much water to the wort because my OG was measured at 1.038.
Other than that, I think everything went according to recipe. I was wondering if there 's anything I can/should do to fix my mistakes now rather than end up with not good beer. I bought a kegging setup, so I'm guessing I can just bottle the excess caused by adding too much water, but also was wondering if I need to fix the yeast situation. Thanks!
