So I am new to the Brewers Friend software and a fairly new brewer, so apologies if this question seems silly. Here goes:
Want to make a 2.5 gallon version of this 15 min recipe but am trying to up the alcohol content. Using the BF software I scaled everything then went in and mucked about with the LME/DME amounts to get a higher OG based in what I have at hand.
But man it seems like a lot! Will this recipe work at all?
Brew Method: Extract

Batch Size: 2.5 gallons (fermentor volume)

Any thoughts or wisdom shared will be appreciated!
