Aloha from Hawaii...
New to the forum, but I've already learned alot.
My first batch (aside from 3 gallons of Mr. Brew my mother-in-law got me) was an Amber Ale (malt extract, cracked grains, hop pellets). I got the recipe from my LHBS and followed it to the letter, EXCEPT for not topping it off to 5 gallons.
It was in primary fermentation - 10 days.
Bottle - 10 days.
The result was a pretty stout/strong brew, good amber flavor, but it seemed a little syrupy. I enjoyed it; friends who appreciate heavier dark beers enjoyed it too. My Coors light drinking friends were scared of it. The ABV was high (I didn't measure it, but I could tell).
My question: What happens if you short your batch...meaning I mis-read my bucket and only brewed 4 gallons of what should have been a 5 gallon batch??
Thanks in advance...
