Hey guys,
I brewed a Rye PA this past weekend and the gravity ended up quite high 1.079 as opposed to my target of 1.070. I probably should have diluted the wort at that point, but it was a rough brew day and I just wanted it over. Anyway it's been fermenting away, but the more I think about it the more I don't really want to end up with an 8% beer. I guess my questions are a few fold. Any issues with adding some sanitized (boiled) water to the primary? Should I add it now, or wait for fermentation to finish up? I've got 20.5L of 1.079 wort, so by my math adding 2.5L of water should get me to where I want to be.
Thoughts?
