Hi I'm a newbie and just stumbled across this recipe and it sounds VERY good:
https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=155009
I've only made two batches in my life so far, now I'm trying to figure out how much water i should use in the different steps.
The recipe is for 5 gal but i only got a 3 gal fermentor so i thought I'd just take half of everything(except the yeast).
Do these volumes seem ok at the different steps, for a 2,5 gal batch?
There is a total of 4lb grains + 4.5lb LME.
Mash all the grains in a bag with 1,25 gal for 1 hour in 150f water.
Sparge with 1 gal 170f water.
Boil(add hops and so on)
And then add water so that there is a total of 2,5 gal in the fermentor?
Perhaps this is more a general question that goes for a lot of other recipes as well.
Thanks and sorry for my bad English
