Greetings all,
I am starting first batch of BOMM, my only experience so far is the gallon of JAOM three weeks ago and all is well there. I have two questions, first the JAOM was at the bottom of the neck of the gallon carboy but has now dropped about an inch and a half, do I add more water to bring airspace back up to minimal or leave alone? Second, when making the starter for my BOMM last night I have mis-measured my honey and and my specific gravity is 1.36, quite a bit above the 1.04 called out in the directions. Do I let this ride, or remove part of the contents and add water to bring gravity back down or would I be better off trashing this and starting all over. Thanks in advance.
