What about gravity adjustment post fermentation? When I?ve had to adjust gravity, it was always after the boil kettle cooling, pre-fermentation. Over the past year, with covid (no we haven't have covid) we?re not drinking as much and friends, relatives, etc are not visiting. So, beers are sitting a bit longer than normal. I kegged a beer the other day and the FG was lower than I expected resulting in a higher than desired ABV (for the style. No, I don't want to call the brew "Imperial"). The BeerSmith tool makes it intuitively simple to determine how to adjust the gravity. However, if I add water to adjust the gravity, I am introducing oxygen? Probably not a good idea. Ignoring the oxygen input, what about ending up with a watery tasting brew? How do other handle this situation?
