I scaled my recipe from standard 5 gallon to 6 gallon to match my equipment. The grain went up but the hops stayed the same as a 5 gallon. Am i missing something? I'm kinda dumb with math.

I made a starter last night for my 1.076 IPA
I made the starter right before i brewed.
The wort is now sitting in a conical, chilled down and waiting.
This morning the starter had a lot of krausen after 12 hours (no stir plate cause i lost my stir bar)
It's now 18 hours. Should I put...
You won't taste the starsan. i've sucked like half a gallon (left blowoff tube in bucket) into a blond ale and siphoned off the top (starsan)... Didn't even notice.
I'm trying to rush it to be ready for a party Sunday. I set it to 30psi last night.
If tonight, I dial the pressure down to 10psi for an hour (i just want to taste it and see how it came out) would that hurt anything? After that i would bump it back up to 30psi till the next night and set at...
I have our fantasy football draft in 3 days and guys are really wanting me to bring a keg. I was thinking of kegging tonight if gravity shows good. and setting it to 30psi for 2 days (sat night) and should be good sunday?
It was a very nice ferment from what it seemed -- starter went off...

Get into making starters. It's kinda easy and fun. 200g dme per 2 liters water. Use Mr Malty pitch calculator (or whatever). You're prob gonna spend a little more cash but if you're investing all that time to make beer it's worth it.
Ever since i've done starters my beer went from blah with off...
Hard to explain this brain fart the last 3 brews but i've been using 400g DME per 2 liter water in my starter instead of 200g per 2 liter... I can only guess that would be around 1.075ish starter wort?
Anyways all 3 times the starter kicked off fast with lots of krausen (over flowed in flask 2...
