After all was said and done with my first batch, I got about 46 bottles out of it. I topped up my primary at 5 gallons but I guess between taking the OG samples and FG samples and leaving a little in when I got down to the yeast cake, I lost a few bottles. I'm using extract kits for now. Just curious if this is normal and how you compensate for the loss of several bottles. I don't have extra hope, malt or grains. I only have what the kits provide for now. Do you top up to a little over 5 gallons to compensate? Thanks
