Forgive the questions, but... I have always brewed in the same pot, but used extracts from Midwest. The new extract I got from Austin home brew calls for 2.5 gallons of water at 150, which leaves me with about .75 gallons head space in my pot. Usually I do just about 2 gallons or so. The directions call for a 5 gallon pot. I wouldn't be worried but there is a HUGE 7lb pale extract bucket that came with the kit. Can I decrease the amount of starting water to just under 2 gallons??
