Hey all!
So, I am making a Kolsch. This is for the CEO from Koln, so I am trying to make it as authentic as possible. I got an 81% efficiency with my batch sparging, so overshot the OG style target.
Long story short, I want to water down my wort to be at the target OG. I am at a 1.055, and the max is a 1.05, and I have 5 gallons collected. I assuming that if I add 1/2 gallons I will be at a 1.050 OG. Do I have to boil the water I am adding, or can I do some Star-San mixed water and avoid boiling?
Would prefer to avoid having to boil. Any issue using the Star San instead?
Thanks for any help!
