Hello all,
New to the site, as well as homebrewing. I did my first extract kit a few weeks back and it will be ready to drink for Thanksgiving, I went with the True Brew kit, with Amber Ale to start. I have a 4 gallon SS Kettle, and am considering doing extract/specialty grains or small scale BIAB.
I do have a question to start, I know at Hopville.com you can clone the recipe and tailor it down to fit your equipment specs. What general size batch can I do with my 4 gal. kettle? should I be scaling down to 3 gallon batch size for my malts and fermentables, and go 3.5 gal boil? Any suggestions? I want to try full volume boil, but on my extract kit I added the wort to extra water in my fermenter. Would it be better for me to do that again?
