I would like to try an all-grain recipe, but I only have a five gallon brew pot. I have heard of people making smaller batches so I thought of trying a 2.5 gallon batch using the brew-in-a-bag method. I have a few questions.
Can I just split the ingredients in half?
How much yeast? Most recipes don't seem to specify amounts for a five gallon batch, so how much do you use for half a batch?
Does it hurt anything to put 2.5 gallons in a 6.5 gallon bucket to ferment? I don't think the extra air space would hurt anything, but I'm not sure.
Do I just use half the amount of priming sugar or would it be better to use a sugar calculator?
