Hi Everyone,
I'm a first time brewer and poster. I just brewed a gallon batch of an IPA and had not considered boil off in the process. I ended up with quite a bit less wort than I expected, but didn't want to introduce impurities from extra water before pitching yeast. What is best practice to end up with the right amount of wort? Also what other mistakes should I be aware of before brewing my second batch?
