I brew with strong batches to maximise my fermenter throughput, and water down as I bottle.
My question is how to best add the diluting water ( boiled and cooled of course )
I want to introduce as little oxygen back into the beer as possible
and just pouring the extra water into the bottling bucket with the priming solution seems
to me to intruduce aeration.
Should I be an anti-aeration fiend and siphon it in, or prepare it in my mini-mash cooler that
has a tap and tube?
How much water? Sometimes I'm adding 6 litres to 7 litres of 7% wort, so in that section of the bottling
it's approaching 50% of the end product ( this is my mid-abv quaffing beer )
