Hi,
I have just joined this forum, am very new to brewing,have read several of your recipes. Am still confused as to how to cut a 5 gallon recipe to 2.5 gallons. Is it a straight across that everything is cut in half? Or are some items left at more than 50%? Thanks for taking the time to answer this. I have made one batch so far using the Mr Beer kit. It was drinkable but not real good.

The best thing to do is set up an accurate equipment profile for your equipment and then use the "scale recipe" command in BeerSmith to switch from the larger equipment setup to your 2.5 gal setup. This will adjust everything to match the recipe as close as it can.
