Hey,
So Im doing a recipe that calls for a 3.5 gallon boil, but I can only do a 3 gallon boil tops. If I lower the boil down how much will this affect the character of the beer? Should I consider just scaling the batch down?
Recipe:
BELL'S OBERON ( 5 gallons, 3.5 gallon boil )
- 3 LB, 4 OZ Briess Bavarian Wheat DME
- 2 LB, 8 OZ Briess golden light DME
- 10 OZ Munich
- 6 OZ Crystal 60L
- 3/4 OZ Hallertauer pellets (60 min.)
- 1 OZ Hallertauer pellets (30 min.)
- 1/2 OZ Saaz pellets (15 min.)
- 1/2 OZ Saaz pellets (5 min.)
- Culture yeast from Oberon bottles or use WLP320 (American Hefeweizen)
- dry hop 7-14 days with 1 OZ Cascade leaf hops
Cheers
