I have the ability to brew all grain recipes. I also buy kits that make 5 gallon batches. this is great for most beers which i am sure will get drank and enjoyed by many. I was wondering if it is necessary to brew in five gallon batches. I want to do some experimenting and wondered if 2.5 or 3 gallon recipes work just as good as 5 gallon recipes. I use brew smith and can have it help with calculations. just wondered if the quality and taste of the beer would be as good. any feedback would be helpful.:fro:
