That's the best part of one gallon brewing is that I can brew in my stove top:rockin:

I've heard different boil ratios will affect bitterness levels how much of a difference do you think this will make in a small batch?

Unfortunately no the building isn't designed like that. I think I'm going to start experimenting with 1 gallon batches though I can bring.6 of a gallon up to a boil in a couple minutes I did it the other night start to finish including steeping crystal for a half hour and clean up was less than...

Ok thank you that makes me feel alot better.for a second I was thinking about conditioning with extra pale malt extract and now I feel dumb because I wasn't thinking about the fact that sugar is white and sugar water would be the lightest color substance to condition with. Serious brain fart on...

I brewed a one gallon batch last night that was supposed to be an extra pale beer, but it came out with a greenish Brown color. I've read that the color error could be due to an early addition of lme. I was just wondering if it will have any kind if negative impact on the taste? I also used...

Me and my girlfriend just moved into an apartment on the third floor of the building and can't use propane and electric burners are a bit pricy for me at the moment. I was wondering if our standard electric stovetop would work if I got insulation for the outside my stainless steel pot? Or I may...

alright so im a little pissed upon learning that theres already a beer called "Barely Legal" (or "Barley Legal, each result is spelled different on google.) its a coconut beer brewed by Palo Alto for anyone who doesnt know. i believe my newest brew is more deserving of the name, seeing as to...

ok so far its looking like im too broke for a keg and everything that comes with it. i stumbled across the party pig & TAD systems and did a little reading, its looking like theyre both suitable for what im trying to do (when i was considering buying a corny i was stuck between a 2.5 gal and 22"...

if i do this will i need a hand pump since i wont have a co2 regulator? and how can i fill the headspace with co2?

probably a dumb question, but when im naturally carbing in a keg am i supposed to leave a head space at all? also, what are the dimensions of a 5 gallon corny keg? jw if i can fit one in my mini fridge.

thanks yall this has been a huge help

Hey guys my girlfriend and I are relocating to Orlando in a few weeks and I was wondering if there was anyone in the area who'd be down to trade homebrewed or rare beers (or wine).

are there any carb calculators that take into account the volume of the vessel(s) youll be conditioning in?

Old thread but Avid Brewing & Hydroponic Supply on 1st avenue south in between 17th and 18th street in st pete has a few different classes going on apparently. I've only been there once 2 weeks ago Idk if they have a club I'll ask when I go on today for a new auto siphon.

im going to just keep the corny keg (when i finally get one) in a spare full sized fridge i keep outside when its done conditioning, so should i try and over carb it a little?
