Dumb question about bock!

[kakistos_uk]

Dear Wise Council of Esteemed Elder Brewers,

I want to make a bock but I’m not yet ready for mashing/all grain (I have a book and will be trying it this year).

Coopers have a recipe with two cans and DME. My question is: Would one can and half the water yield the same result? I know how stupid it sounds but was worried there is an implication that I haven’t foreseen.

Feedback would be appreciated.

Kind regards,

Humble novice brewer hoping to break into intermediate status (aka kakistos_uk)

Yes 1 can and half the water will yield the same result but only give you half the yield.ie what was say 20l to start will only return 10 and again the answer maybe no if it is two different types of DME of say light/amber or dark where you would have to use equal quantities of each and therefore have to purchase 2 cans.
