A #6 stopper works for putting an air lock on most gallon jugs. We have a lot of customers who do 1 gallon fermentations. Most of them use a one gallon glass jug. The benefits of such a small batch are that you can experiment for very cheap, and you can do all-grain brewing with a regular...

I think we usually use the amber candi syrup. The recipe could hold more hoppiness, but the gentle saaz makes a really quaffable brew.

Yes that was a typo which I fixed. We double checked with our suppliers on the ingredients being GF. We also have given a bunch to our gluten sensitive friend with no ill effects. The rice gelatinization process is also seen with corn. It avoids needing to precook the grain I believe. I think...

We have also had huge success making yogurt. We love how easy it is and how good it tastes. Our little girl (14 months) can't get enough of the stuff. We put up a couple pages on how to make it here: How to make homemade yogurt. At the bottom of that page you'll also find a link where we...
