Hello...I found a recipe for a brown ale that i am thinking about brewing and could use some suggestions as this is my first non kit batch:
6.6 lb. dark LME
.5 lb. caramel malt 80L
.25 lb. black patent malt
2 oz. fuggles hops (boiling)
.5 oz. cascade hops (finishing)
4 tsp. gypsum (optional)
steep grains 30 min. in gallon and a half water.
boiling hops 60 min.
finishing hops 5-10 min.
My questions are...
Can i use 2 and a half gallons of water for the boil?
Can i use more grains in the boil if i use more water?...i have a pound of each(because thats all the LHBS had and i dont want to waste any)
