Hi,
I just finished my first brew. Things went well, kind of. At least I know what I need to do for the next one haha.
Anyway, I started boiling with a full 5 gallons, but when I siphoned into the fermenter, I found that I had a little over 4 (boiling off water and what not). Do I add enough water to make 5 gallons or since I started with 5, I just let it be?
