Hi everyone,
This is my 2nd batch and I had a question. I am brewing a hefeweizen 5 gallon batch. So I decided to try a full boil. I had a turkey deep fryer so I loaded 5 gallons and started my boil. I read I was suppose to start with 6 gallons to account for boil off but my pot wasn't big enough.
So I proceeded to complete my wort and after I added my LME and completed my 60 min boil very little water was boiled off. I ended up with maybe 5.1-5.2 gallons in my primary. My OG was 1.042 and the target was 1.045.
Will this effect the taste of my beer?
When I prime my beer for bottling do I need to add a little more?
