I'm just boiling a Oktoberfest right now and I think it may be a little short.
Is it alright to top up the fermenter with a bottle of unboiled Ashbeck spring water?
Cheers

Re: Topping Up Fermenter
Not to be recommended unless your OG was higher than required. And even then I always add my liquoring back to the cooling wort in the copper. If you are under volume it is better to just live with it.

Re: Topping Up Fermenter
If its under volume and you think it will make it over on the OG then I don't see the problem. You can always wait until its cooled and check the gravity then decide.
