Ok, so I have a couple of questions. My brother in law has been wanting me to clone Rainer. :rockin: I couldn't ever find a recipe that was extract (was only doing extract and PM at the time, didn't want to try to convert it). But now that I am making the leap to AG. I figured I'd do it for him, since I figured it would be easy...well so I thought. The recipe is for 11.49 gallons. I can only do max 6 gallons. So I figured I'd try to scale it back to 5.5 gallons. So I need some help figuring this out, since I can't just cut it in half and call it good, or so I think. I've included some notes on the recipe below of things I may change as well.
Grain Bill for 11.49 Gallon:
##############
11lb Pilsen Malt
3 lb Cornmeal
1 lb Flaked corn (thinking of doing 2 lbs of Maize instead, so I can avoid a cereal mash)
1 lb 2-Row
.5 lb of toasted raw wheat (thinking of using torrified wheat instead)
.5 lb of Carapils Malt
.25 Melanoidin Malt
##############
1.76 oz of Mt. Rainier hops at 90 min
1.76 oz of Mt. Rainier hops 15 min addition
1.06 oz of Mt. Rainier hops 1 min addition
Shooting for 70-75% efficiency since I am doing BIAB. (May batch sparge too)
Let me know if there is additional information you need. Thanks in advance!
