So I've tried brewing a couple of the recipes in "Brewing Classic Styles" by Jamil Zainasheff and John Palmer, but I only have a 5 gallon kettle rather than the (10ish?) one suggested by the book. The first beer we tried to brew came in way, way over OG and the second, which I tried to adjust for boil amount using BeerSmith, came in a bit low. Does anyone have suggestions on how to tweak the recipes to make sure they work with my smaller kettle? We typically boil about 2.5 to 3 gallons and then top-up in the carboy.
