I brewed a brewers best IPA extract kit last night and had a few boil overs when adding LME and DME, before adding hops. I started with 3 gallons of water. I was concerned that I had lost some sugars, so at the end of the process I added water until the 17 liter/4.5 gallon mark and took my Original gravity reading, which ended up at 1.060, which is very close to what they recommend 1.061 being the minimum og specified on the kit. Was this the right move? Or should I have just topped off to 5 gallons?
I'm new to brewing, and my first 2 beers tasted horrible. So I was very meticulous on this one, using Spring water, making sure I followed the direction exactly. it would be a shame if I screw this one up too.
