Friday morning I will be brewing up a Phat Tyre extract kit. Wednesday night I will work up a starter. While I would like to do a full volume boil, I don't have a kettle that will hold 8 gallons. Rather than boiling the recommended 2.5 gallons of water, is there any risk to splitting the difference and boiling 4 gallons instead, still topping off with enough water at the end to complete a 5 gallon batch?
