I picked up an Ironmaster Porter kit the other day. I thought I remembered hearing that you needed two for a 5 gal batch, and since I had an empty 3 gal carboy it seemed an ideal opportunity to get my feet wet with a porter. Of course when I get home and read the directions I see that you're supposed to add 2# of sugar or DME to it and make a 5 gallon batch.
I thought about just doing it as a 2.5 gallon one anyways, but am concerned about it being overhopped, not to mention the OG will be a bit high. Any thoughts about whether I should try it or wait until I have a primary available?
TIA,
