I topped off the fermenter with too much H2o and dropped the OG. If I do this again what do you think, if I boil some sugar water, add to fermenter and procede.

After all these years (81+) why didnt I think of that. Dumb AxxDry or liquid malt extract is considered a better alternative to sugar water to raise the OG.

Not quite but it seams like it, but my birthdays are coming sooner. I keep dreaming about my 57 Chev convert, I wonder where it is now.since this is in the yeast forum. i can say i've done many 10 gallon batches with only 8 lb's malt, and the rest just table sugar to get 1.060 OG. it always fermented fine with the nutrients from the malt?
edit: i might be lying i was just looking through my old recipes, back before i found a box fan dries malt bettyer then a food dehydrator. and it was 8lb's malt, 5lb's adjunct, and 6lb's table sugar..
edit #2: you've been brewing for over 80 years? ..
