hey guys,
Is there a way to, say, make a 2 gallon BIAB batch and top it up with roughly the same amount of water?
I am wondering if the wort can have such a high OG that the water we add would balance it out to an OG that we are aiming for. How do I even calculate it?
I would like to brew an APA with OG that is around 1.043. I do understand that the mashing bill has a certain "capacity" that I might refer to as the water/bill ratio that produces a certain OG, but how do I calculate it?
IBU would be another issue too. Do I lose more time and energy with the problematic calculations than what I would actually gain out of this idea?
Thank you.
