For a "5 gal" batch, do you guys generally shoot for slightly more than 5 gal (5.25) before fermentation? I have been adding water to get about 5.25 because I have heard that with water loss over the few weeks its in the bucket you will end up with something closer to 5 gal. But will this affect the ABV severely? AKA make it less potent?
