hi all,
quick question about diluting beer. i have a saison that started at 1.048 which i was hoping to get down to 1.008 for a beer around 5.3%abv ... however that saison yeast is a real beast and it's down to 1.001 or 6.2%abv - not a disaster i'm sure you'll agree but i prefer my saisons on the light side concerning alc vol.
my question is this, i have 28l ready for bottling but i want to use the sugar addition for carbonation to add enough boiled water to bring the abv down to 5.3% ... and as i'm absolutely shite at maths, can anyone give me the quantity i'd need to hit the right abv and pass on a handy formula (written for a 5yr old is possible) that i can maybe use in future
cheers all !
