Irish Red Ale

[bdawson]

I am new to brewing we only have 1 batch done and one carbonating. We are looking to do a Red Ale now. I found this on beersmith.com and it is only a 2.25 gal batch. What I want to know if we want to make a 5 (5.5) gallon batch I can just double everything in this recipe below right? This may be a dumb question but I just want to confirm before I do it.
Thanks in advance,

Yup. Should scale linearly.

The boil size will depend on your kettle as well. Larger diameter pots usually have more boil off than smaller diameter ones.

Also, with fresh dry American Ale yeast, you would probably be OK with leaving the yeast as a single packet. Just be sure to rehydrate properlly. If you want to be safe, two packets would be great.
