So I just got my first brew going and in the fermenter. 5 gallons made from an extract kit put together by my local home brew supply store. But only just recently have I heard of 2.5 and even 1-gallon brewing. This really appeals to me! It will take me forever to go through 5 gallons of beer, even giving some to friends. And part of what I got into home brewing for is to be able to try different things and experiment and have fun. I can't really do that once every 3 months or so it takes me to get through 5 gallons. (I'm lucky to have one bottle a night.)
So, my question is, are there any good resources anyone can point me to regarding 1-gallon brewing? (I'd prefer 2.5, but the local brew store have 2-gallon buckets perfect for 1-gallon brew, and I can always have my favorite recipes going through the 5-gallon, leaving the 1-gallon to my experiments.)
Also, am I stuck doing extracts with 1-gallon batches? Or is it possible and viable for me to get into the all-grain brewing (my ultimate desired goal) with such small batches?
Thanks for any feedback!
