So this morning I transferred my first batch of beer (Baron's Pale Ale kit) from my primary to secondary carboy. Everything went fairly well, but I ended up having to add about 5-6 litres of water once it was in the carboy.
The last few litres in the primary fermenter got swished around a bit and were very very murky (from the sediment at the bottom). I didn't want to add too much of the sediment to my secondary carboy, so I found myself quite short of 23 L and had to add what I thought was a lot.
What do you guys think? Is this going to water down my beer? Or do any harm? I just wasn't sure how much of that murky water to add, should I have just added it all and let it settle again over the next couple weeks?
