The recipe is a Deschutes Mirror Pond clone, for a 5 gallon batch. I'll be doing half the recipe, and using fresh hops, not dried.

11.5lbs 2-row
14oz Crystal 70
3oz CaraPils

1.25 Cascade 85min
1.25 Cascade 30min
1.25 Cascade 5min
1.25 Cascade 1min
3/4 oz Cascade Dry hop 7 days.

White Labs English Ale

So doing a half batch and using the fresh hop ratio of 5 or 6 to 1, my recipe should look like:

5.75lbs 2 row
7oz Crystal 70
1.5oz CaraPils

3.125 oz Fresh Cascade 85min
3.125 oz Fresh Cascade 30min
3.125 oz Fresh Cascade 5min
3.125 oz Fresh Cascade 1min
1.875 oz Fresh cascade dry hopped 7 days

White Labs English Ale

That's a total of 14.375 oz of hops in a half batch. Does that sound right? I'm sure I'm just overthinking this, and that it should turn out fine. What do you guys think?
