Hi people,
Have any of you ever tried to dilute your brew after the boil to get greater volumes for a given boil size?
I ask this as I would like to make 50l batches, my mash tun could take it for say a 1060 or less OG beer, but my kettle is only good for up to 25l batches. Seen this my plan would be to boil, cool of, and then dilute with some bottled water (no nasties there to spoil the beer, as opposed to tap water).
What do you think? Will this make a good beer? Or does a high gravity boil (OGx2) change something in the final product?
Cheers
Greg
