OK so I screwed up and ended up spending roughly 150 on a single recipe for an imperial red ale. I went to Ballast point's home brew mart with a recipe for a simple red ale but the website I had for the recipe was trying to sell a kit and the measurements were not clear enough for the guy at the brew store. He said he had a recipe book. Looking through it, there was a recipe for an imperial red that he said was similar to tongue buckler. Like an idiot I said give me that one without asking the price. 150 dollars later I have like 11oz of hops and 12 lbs of dme and a regular looking bag of steeping grains. My first question is does this sound right? Second is if they wont let me return it can I just cut everything in half and brew two batches ? I tried finding a similar recipe with that much dme and it said something about letting it ferment for like 6 months and I'm not hot on that idea. This will be my third time brewing with the first tasting like garbage and every bottle being overcarbed when I open it and the second is still fermenting. I'm not about to spend 150 on a learning experience.
