Hey all new brewer here and big fan of HBT, i red and learned a lot on here thanks to you all, just not quite enough in time i guess lol...
I've been jumping into brewing a bit too fast being so hyped about it all, and had quite a blast doing it too! But been acting like captain goofball tho, my lastest mystake is kind of all over my 4 batches and i was wondering if there was maybe a way to save the latest one thats still in the fermenter since 4 days.
Im a canadian frenchy in Mtl, and so sometimes i mis-understand a thing or two lol... Every recipe i brew i though that "boil water" was my total water including what i mash with, like in my latest i tryed the centennial blond, the recipe i found here, which calls for 6.57g boil water and 5.5g batch, so i though... By using 6.57g throughout my whole process i'd end up with a 5.5g batch... Duh lol
Then i learned that you needed to add water to get to the target OG and to fit your recipe boil water... So my 4 batches are like malty as hell [emoji21] cause my centennial blond, which was supposes to be 5.5g i barely have like 5/8 of my carboy filled, maybe a bit more, is there anything i can do to save that last batch? Can i still just add water in there before i bottle or something? Its already done fermenting almost completly... Brewed that 4 days ago
And i was wondering when and how do you add that said water to match your boil size in your recipe? You just make a whole lot of sparge water and over sparge or just pour it in the boil kettle until you reach your target?
Thanks in advance!
