Small batch all grain.

[jcs401]

I am looking for a good 3 gallon small batch recipe to make this weekend. I typically do 5g batches but both kegs are full so would like to do a 2-3 gallon batch to bottle to take on the road next month. Does anyone know any good all grain or partial mash kits or ingredients needed? I do have beer smith but am still learning how to convert from 5gallon to smaller batches. Any help would be great. Looking for perhaps a spring type beer as I live in Texas and would like a good spring style beer.

I brew exclusively 2.5 gallon batches in my small apartment.... here is a recipe for a super simple PA I did recently and it turned out great. You could easily change the hop schedule around or use a darker crystal malt, but the body was really light, would be a great summer beer.

8 oz Crystal 40
5 oz flaked wheat

.25oz citra 60min
.5oz citra 15min
.5oz amarilla 15min
