Wow! Didn't know that existed. Do you use it every time? When do you add it?

Isn't that still a lot of hops? 2oz in a 1g batch?
Yes, that is a ton of hops, the equivalent of 10oz in a 5gal batch, and half of that is MAGNUM. And if he really only hit 1.035.... OMG!

Brooklyn Brew Shop is pretty cool as they put you right into the all-grain arena. It's a really good starter kit. I would probably check in on the priming sugar as the recommended sugar is way too much, but otherwise a great gate-way kit. You will be addicted to homebrew after using their kits.
I recently bottled my first one gallon batch and just brewed the Brooklyn Brewshop Everyday IPA.
One gallon brewing is damned addictive.

also, for all-grain brewers..any problems with holding mash temps for a long enough period of time?
Thunder Chicken - a few questions on the Everyday IPA. Did you pretty much stick to the BBS script, such as fermenting two weeks? If so, what was your FG?
I did a fermentation two weeks, the first few day in my dining room where ambient temp hit near 72, then the remainder in the basement where it is more mid-60s. Now I have had it sitting on my porch (in Minnesota) for a Cold Crash since Sunday - temps mostly in the 20s, but may have been high 30s to 40 for a bit the last two afternoons.
I will probably bring it in in the morning to settle on a shelf before attempting bottling. However, I am bit concerned that the color a bit darker than I expected - more like a "black tea" than iced-tea. Just wondering.
Also, your comment about bottling sugar: did you use honey like the recipe suggests, and if so, how much? Any particular suggestions?
My first BBS batch was a Chocolate Maple Porter - following the BBS recipe book instructions using 3 tablespoons maple syrup seemed to over carbonate many of the bottles resulting in more beer on my ceiling than inside my glass.

As with my first reply...many people think they are bottling 1 gallon, when in fact you are usually bottling anywhere from .75 to .85
I usually rack to my brew pot, mix with priming sugar, then siphon into bottles. Spigot would be easier and would work as well.
I put my "mash tun" (also the brew pot) into a warm oven (150F ish) to keep the temps for an hours. Works very well.
If you attach your bottling wand to you auto siphon, will it continue to siphon from bottle to bottle or will it need pumped?

Just swinging by to say hello. Good to see some new 1 gallon brewers here and the regulars helping them out.
Plan to get brewing again in March when the ice is off the lakes and ponds and I'm done ice fishing. The supply is getting low with more consuming than brewing.
hey everyone,
I made my first brew a few days ago from a 1 gallon brooklyn brew kit that I got for Christmas. I already want to make another one and rather then go out and spend $40 and follow their recipe Id like to do something on my own. I plan on getting a 1 gallon glass jug and then heading to my lhbs for the grain and other things. In the kit they say that once it is placed in the jug to ferment to put a air tube out of the top and into a bowl of sanatizer for 2-3 days, then switch to the airlock. Just wondering if that step is necessary. Ive watched a few youtube videos and looks like they just put the airlock in.

If you use a 2 gallon bucket for a primary like alot of guys do it isn't necessary because there's plenty of room for the fermentation inside. I use gallon jugs and always use a tube the first couple days then switch to an airlock, I always get a bit of blow off the first 2 days.
Hey bigrock! How's the fishing been? I went out last week and got a couple keepers nice size cod! Man I miss ice fishing!
BigRock947 said:I've been having good luck with Blue Gills and Crappie...finally got my first Walleye through the ice last week. I should have taken a picture...it was a 9" monster...LOL. Fish and an IPA has been my favorite meal. Stout has been my beer of choice while the ice...yum.
