Bought a refractometer a couple months ago and I'm really enjoying using it to measure pre-boil and OG before adding yeast. However, I was very confused to make a couple batches that I thought were under-attenuated because I kept using the refractometer to find the Brix (and then gravity) of the...

I've been brewing one gallon batches of beer but am about to upgrade. Rather than have the six one gallon fermenters I have sit around collecting dust, I was thinking about using them to make some cider (or mead). Can anyone point me in the direction of some good one-gallon cider threads? Or...
