If your sanitation was and remains top priority and your patient for the yeast to do their thing, it will be a fine beer. Hope you enjoyed your first brew day! Cheers!!

Anyone finding it more challenging to pull clean beer out of these 1 gallon batches? I keep getting trub and hop leaves. Always prided myself on supper clean beer when siphoning off my 5 gallon carboys. Any ideas/thoughts would be great.

Tried two 1 gallon batches this weekend. Like the idea of doing a lot more brewing with new ideas and recipes. However not excited that it takes roughly the same time and same clean up. For 1 gallon. Still thinks the pros win. And nice to do it all in the kitchen. Thanks for the idea! Never...

More heartache in the home brewing world... Thanks for the feedback! Cheers

Used 5 oz. priming sugar. After boiling the water and cooling I always put the mixture at the bottom of my bucket and then fill with the beer so I get a good mix. I did not mix things up after that. Does the sugar settle to the bottom? So if I test the first bottles filled, they should be fine...

After 2 weeks in the bottle mine is still flat. Also there is little to no visible yeast residue in the bottles. It taste good... But no idea what's going on or what I may have done wrong.

I'm at 84 hours and fermentation has just started, but way slow! Gave it a few rolling stirs and will see what the morning brings. If it's still slow should I re-pitch a new packet?
