Had a 1.063 gravity wort that dropped to 1.040 after I found out (too late) that my immersion chiller leaked about 2 gallons of water into my kettle during cooling.
I'm thinking about pulling off a gallon or so and replacing it with a juice or something to bring the gravity reading up. Any suggestions on how to do those calculations? It would be a balance of volume of juice and gravity of juice. Should I let ferment completely and then add juice to basically ferment a second time?
Or do I go the straight sugar route? Juice may not raise the gravity enough.
Yes, I realize my hop and malt profile will be out of balance.
Thanks.
