This was our 6th brewing attempt and I'm fairly confident this one will be our first successful brew. Our last attempt to reach proper efficiency was a failure and the Og was very low. This time around I picked a recipe geared towards a 60%(We hit about 50% last time) efficiency instead of a 75%, hoping we'd hit at least 55%. We ended up with 71% and too high of an OG. So I added just a smidge of tap water and got the OG down within recipe parameters. It felt very good not to finish a seven hour brew and have my hydrometer ruin everything with a disgustingly low reading. A little too high felt much better. I'm excited.
