I ordered an Irish Red Ale kit from Midwest that I am planning on brewing as my second batch this weekend. The instructions say I should steep the grains in 1.5-2 gallons of water for 30 minutes, add the LME and hop additions while boiling for an hour, then top off with water. This brings me to my question. Since I have a 30Qt pot can I start with 5 gallons water instead of the 1.5-2 that they recommend?
