Hi All,
Help!! I was trying to BIAB a recipe from Charlie Papzian:
https://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/237705/who-s-in-the-garden-grand-cru
I followed the recipe closely but found that after ~40 mins of the brew a lot of it had boiled off. I panicked a bit and put 2L more water in but found the OG was pretty low (about 1.015, although I'm not 100% certain I didn't misread it). There wasn't a massive deal of action in the primary fermenter, FG was about 1.008. I then bottled and primed it last night, all seems to be going OK so far (yeast starting to drop out). I'm now fairly sure I diluted the wort with my water addition and have ended up with a pretty weak brew. Any ideas/thoughts/advice??
Sorry if these are dumb questions - this is only my 4th brew so I'm a bit of a newbie!
Thanks all - have already learned so much from scouring the forums!
Dave
