Hey guys, first time posting on the forum. I had a question on the best way to make a recipe I have with the equipment i currently have. I am looking to do a DFH 90 minute clone and the recipe is for a 5 gallon batch. I am an all grain brewer, and my brew pot can handle enough of the wort. However, my mash tun is 5 gallons. The recipe I put into beer smith calls for 6.73 gallons of mash volume, but I have 5. I would like to make a 5 gallon batch still though.
What i can do on Beersmith 2 is scale the recipe to 3.5 gallons to fit the mash tun. This adjusts the recipe though for this batch size. I was wondering if I should then just add water to the fermentation bucket to get it to 5 gallons based on the 3.5 gallon recipe or what the best way to do this would be. Thanks!!
