Hey guys had my first all grain run through the other day and overall it went great, the bucket is bubbling as we speak. Like anything I now know some things that I could have done better but that's the learning process. My question: After boiling (btw...this should be a true winter ale seeing as how my keg boiled on a fire as snow came down around us) I had less overall wort as expected. I had about 4.25 gallons and was expecting 5 gallons. Being a man who wants to finish right what he started I added about .75 gallons to get it up to 5 gallons (and also to help cool it). Will this in effect make a "lighter" beer? I was originally going for around 8.1% so I'm hoping this might just throw it down a few notches, which I can handle.
