I want to scale down a 5 gallon recipe to 2.5 gallons. I was wondering if I should do a full boil of the full 2.5 gallons? Beersmith scales the boil size to 1.33 gallons and then says to top off in the fermentor. I have no reason to doubt Beersmith but if I have the capacity for a full boil why not go that route? Thoughts?
I am experimenting with hops and wanted a smaller batch size.
