I just started this two days ago and it is fermenting like crazy. Will let you know who it comes out. I think the next time I will try the AG BIAB method for this recipe which is 11# of 2 row British malt with the 1# of 40L and steep for 90 minutes then use 27% less IBU and everything else the same.

It's a very easy recipe to make and you should have great luck with it. I use this as my standard house ale and actually just brewed a 3 gallon batch with the addition of dried sweet orange peel and ground coriander at last five minutes of the boil.

Interested in a 4 gallon batch - what do smaller batch brewers normally do to change up volume like this? Beersmith?
Also, has there been an tasty update to this that would be decently easy for a beginner such as myself? BIAB I can do. Also, big hops taste isn't my thing just yet...suggestions on removal of some of the last flavoring ones if that is even adviseable.
