Overfilled!?!?!?

Good day all,
Finally bit the bullet and got a HB setup. Followed the instructions to the letter but overfilled by about a litre, Bugga. Have I blown it?

nope, it'll just be a bit less alcoholic & a bit less body.

What ingredients did you use?

Gday Ash,
Used a T.U.B.S kit, Tas Pale Ale, as stated first brew so I would not have a clue!! It had about a litre of malt, approx a kilo of Dex & Corn syrup, a hop bag and hop oil. All up I filled it to about 23.5litres instead of 22. Should I take this one on the chin or is there a way to fix it?

just let it go & have a 4.5% beer instead of a 5% one (rough guess)

Don't worry!

She will be apples!

It is far better to have a slightly less alcoholic brew and be able to drink 6 longnecks in a session than hve a hghly alcoholic one and only be able to have 2.

it would drop a 5% alcohol brew down to 4.7% with the volumes you were talking about. i highly doubt you'll notice anything, really.

that, and with the extra things you've added, there's plenty to cope with the volume increase anyway.

cheers

Tadge,

You've completely buggered it mate, but if you want to drop it round to my place I'd be happy to dispose of it for you.
