"Even if its only for me."

BM - thats about as good a compliment as you can get.

Don't laugh. I'm scaling up my 10 gallon concentrations on this recipe and my C-of-3C's with the intent of brewing a stronger 11 gallon batch and then topping off to get 16.5 gallons for three-corny fills. With such a light grain bill it should be easy to do a [quote] partial boil [unquote] and add water to get a higher yield. Why not get 15 gallons out of a 10 gallon brew session?

Well I can actually see that happening, but 5 gallons on top of 5? That sounds like it wouldn't turn out? Do you think doing a 10 gallon grain bill for 5 gallons and topping off would be okay?

If you keep all other factors equal you will get less bitterness out of a 10 gallon grain bill in a 5 gallon boil then topping up - hop utilization goes down w/ increased boil gravity. You can compensate, but its not as simple as 10 gal grain bill and 10 gal hopping schedule.

Yeah, I listed a few posts back that I'd probably increase to 1oz additions if I did, but I'm more afraid of flavor going away.

I'm getting ready to brew this. This will be my first time adjusting my water to a desired style. What city should I pick as a target? I'm using EZ Water Adjustment.

I guessed Pilsen, or Burton.

What if I try to do 6.5-7 gallons (AG) on a 10 gallon grain bill and top off up to 10 gallons? It'd probably work that way?

BM - thanks for the great recipe! I've brewed this up twice now but this last batch I substituted some Williamette I had lying around for the Centennial. I took it to a super bowl party in my rolling kegerator (along with some honey kolsch) and it was a huge hit. Thanks again.

Hey Gang, I was putting the numbers into Beer Smith. I've increased the batch size to 6 gallons and added an extra pound of 2 Row Pale Malt everything else is the same as BM recommended Centenial Alpha 9.0% Cascade 7.5%, but the program is estimating IBU's at 18.3. Is this just soft ware issues or am I missing something? trying to keep total water Through Mash tun to 3.3qt/lb.
