I'm planning to return to brewing after a 5 year hiatus. My goal is to do 2.5g batches. I think 5g batches burnt me out. I bought a small Anvil kettle and a SS ferment bucket. The issue is finding recipes for half batches. If anyone has a lead, I'd appreciate it. And, most importantly, water chemistry confused the hell out of me before and I don't remember any of it now. How do ppm translate into 1/2tsp, etc? So, if anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it.
Lastly, my first take, if anyone is interested in giving me advice is that I'm going to make Austin Brewing's Cold Smoke AG. I batch sparge so I remember to add 5% more to my grain bill. But, I really need a water chemistry refresher. http://austinhomebrew.com/assets/images/RCPPDF/01503.pdf I only use RO water. My total starting water is 5.3g. With a grain bill of about 8lb. "Teach a man to fish."
Thank you regardless.
