I will "re-mention" that I brew half batches. Being said, I have a ceramic kettle that will handle upwards of three plus gallons.
I will be getting two kits this weekend that will be speciallly weighed by the LHBS guy to accomodate my 2.5 gallon fermenter.
The kit will be E.G. (extract\grains) so my question is, is there any water ratios that will govern this boil? I would like to put three gallons of water in, steep, boil and reduce the volume to roughly just over the batch volume of 2.5 gallons.
Directions that come with the kit are for five gallon E.G. brewing and specify 1.5 to 2 gallons of water to start. This reduces to about 1 gallon and causes topping off.
Any benefits in either strategy? Thanks.
