I did a 4 gallon boil and ended up with only about 3 gallons after boiling and leaving trub (transferred from pot to primary with a siphon to leave behind the coffee grounds). I topped off with tap water to 5 gallons but my gravity was quite lower than the recipe (1.078).

  • Primary: 15 days
  • Secondary: 2 days
  • OG: 1.052* @ 74
  • FG: 1.020 @ 63

*I measured the original gravity immediately after topping off the 3 gallons from the boil without stirring it up much, so I think that the original gravity that I measured is lower than it should have been.

Original recipe used Willamette instead of Tettnang.
