How do you scale a 5 gallon extract recipe down to 2 or 2.5 gallons? I've gotten pretty experimental with my brews lately with hit or miss luck. I would rather ruin 2 gallons of beer than 5 due to cost. Can I just cut all the ingredients in half for a 2.5 gallon batch?
I currently do extract recipes with grain steeping with a 3 gallon boil, added to 3 gallons of clean water in the fermenter. How would a small batch affect ingredient amounts, boil time, and fermentation time?
Thanks!
