I recently brewed my first ever batch. An APA.
The recipe called for an OG of 1.051-1.055. I accidentally put a little too much water in. About .5 gallons. So my OG was 1.047.
Today, I took a gravity reading as I plan to bottle this weekend. It's been 2.5 weeks. The recipe called for an FG of 1.012-1.015. My gravity today read 1.007.
Basically, I just want to know what kind of effect this will have on my beer. It seems to me that I'm right where I should be in terms of abv, so is my beer just going to feel a little thin? Or is there any other negative effects?
Thanks in advance! Love the forum!
Side-note: The sample tasted awesome! If it was carbonated It'd be perfect!
