Checked the OG on a 5 gal. batch of pale (made with homegrown hops, BTW) and it was about 10 points higher than desired: shooting for 1.053 but hit 1.063. The difference, according to BS2, is an additional .7% ABV, which I do not want. Anyone know how to use BS2 to calculate an additional water volume to reduce the wort by 10 points? Another question: any opinions on whether I should add water during fermentation or wait until FG/ready to keg? My gut feeling is that I should add distilled/RO water now rather than wait until FG. In summary, I need to calculate an amount of water to add to a 5 gal. batch to bring the OG from 1.063 to 1.053 and should the volume be added during fermentation or at FG.
