I am looking at converting a recipe from a 5 gallon batch to a 10 gallon batch.
1. would you just double your ingredients?
2. Could you do a 5 gallon boil and just top off the remaining 5 gallons to get to 10?
 
1. Yes
2. I don't know. If the recipe is for a 2.5 gallon boil for a 5 gallon batch, I guess a 5 gallon boil would be ok for a 10 gallon batch. But it really depends on the recipe, and the size of the boil in that original recipe, if you'd like to match it.
 
Yep, make it easy on yourself and just double the ingredients. There's not enough of a difference from 5-10 or even 15 gallons to make a huge difference.
