MTate37, you really put a whole pack of liquid yeast for 1 gal? Tell me how that turns out. MrMalty tells me to use 0.5 packs with fresh yeast but that seems way too much! So I used roughly 1/4 pack of California ale in my American amber. It's been in primary for 3 days now and seems to be...

I'd like to know how much liquid yeast to use in 4.25L with let's say regular OG around 1,060. Mr.malty tells me 0.5 packs of vial. That seems to be way too much seeing as I use 1 pack (either wyeast or white labs) for 23L and always had enough even at a 1,090 OG. I bought a California Ale...

I was thinking to go cheap on my 1gal set-up and not make a chiller. How long does it take you guys to cool down 1 gal in a cold bath ? For those who say they lose too much wort by taking gravity readings.... I just dump my hydrometer in sanitizer (wich is in my primary ferm. from the start)...

I'm thinking of setting up a lab at my place. We brew at my buddy's place 3V 23L. I would like to brew more often and test more recipes. 1 gallon would be perfect for my small space, get more variety, tweak recipes, low cost of equip. (I already invested alot on our other set-up). I would do...

I thought Centennial was a bittering hop. Beersmith says bittering and so do the other sites I've consulted...

Yes the Coopers yeast was just while making the recipe on beermsith.... I bought the S-04. I wanted the Wyeast 1056 but they didn't have any in stock. For the Dry Hopping I will put the Cascade and add the williamette to the boil everybody seems to agree on that. For the Perle even if it...

DannPM: The dark malt extract was for color yes. Ill stick only with the light its 3 SRM. Are you saying All the candi sugar should de in for the last 10 mins only? or I should add more later on? Guldtuborg : Aiming for something like the Duvel, Belgian Golden Strong but doesnt have to...
