Just keep brewing. Mistakes happen less and less with time. Stay sober during the brew day. Save the beers for cleanup.

^^^^^^^^^.  Brewing sober didn't get rid of all the mistakes, but it got rid of most of them. Still an odd screwup occasionally, followed by a string of obscenities. It happens and is usually a pretty good beer anyway.

Many great discoveries were founded upon mistakes. Reminds me of this guy that was trying to sail to India back in 1492.

Drinking while brewing only SOUNDS like fun.

I brew in the AM so I normally drink coffee while brewing. Then have lunch. By the time I am done cleaning and getting everything put away it's about time to sit back, watch the fermenters, think about secondary additions like Maker's Mark soaked Oak, and enjoy a cool drank.

I'm considering giving my MT a test run this weekend and doing a small batch of this recipe. Can I simply cut everything in half for a 3 gallon recipe?

Any point in putting this into Beersmith and cutting in half?

Beersmith will just cut everything in half for you. You can do it on your own if that's easier for you. Good luck with the new tun.
