I was originally converting the Centennial blonde recipe to 2.5 gallons so I cut the 5 gallon recipe in half. He suggested it looked weak, upped the grains and eliminated the caramel malt. I'll post below what I was going to get and what he suggested.
I was getting:
3.5# pale malt(he changed to 8.8#)
6oz cara pils(.5#)
4oz caramel malt(they eliminated this)
4oz vienna malt(changed to .48#)
Below is the original 5 gallon recipe:
Amount
7.00 lb Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0 SRM)
0.75 lb Cara-Pils/Dextrine (2.0 SRM)
0.50 lb Caramel/Crystal Malt - 10L (10.0 SRM)
0.50 lb Vienna Malt (3.5 SRM)
Does this at all seem right to more experienced brewers? Thinking maybe there was a misunderstanding and he converted it to 5 gallons.
