That's right take two, didn't make any mistakes this time (third times the charm eh?) and used the plastic pail. Which is funny because I found it easier to clean and use then the glass carboy. Maybe if I can find a source I'll switch over to the clear plastic better bottles.
Even though I didn't over water this time the gravity was still a little short at 1.038. I pitched in another 100g of sugar to try and up it the last two points. Another thing was since I didn't want to spend money again on spring water I ended up just filling the empty containers from the previous attempt with tap water and leaving them over night for the chlorine to evaporate.
I went to bottle it last night and was in for some disappointment. The gravity 1.012 when it needed to be 1.008... Since I'm still new to this I didn't want to take the chance with bottle bombs and so left it for tomorrow. I'm not going to have time during the week, so for better or worse it's going into the bottles tomorrow.
