Hey guys! Well I brewed my first batch of beer yesterday with my friend. As we were boiling the wort, we had an unfortunate accident where we contaminated about 2 gallons of water that was sitting in the primary... so we tried to boil/cool water as fast as we could before the wort finished boiling.
We ended up only getting about 4.2 gallons total of beer, and I used a recipe intended for 5 gallons. We did manage to cool the wort in good time using a water bath, took about 25 minutes to get it to 75f. How should this effect the beer since its more concentrated? (Its a light wheat ale) Hopefully it wont taste horrible
I am happy to report that it is fermenting, bubbles frequently coming out of the air lock.
Thank you for the help!
