hey guys Im new and this is my first post. Im very new to brewing i have only made two batches of beer the first one came out good very strong second one was an experiment and i kinda just threw things together short story it sucked. any way thats my introduction my question is in the title i want to know how much hops i should have when brewing a 1 gallon batch Im mainly doing wheat beer and i see a few recipes that call for 1 ounce for 5 gallons but with my first beer i did 1 ounce of hops and i didnt know if when trying a new recipe if i should go under 1 ounce of hops or just leave it at an ounce.
here is a recipe example i want to try was wondering when i cut the batch down for 1 gallon size if i should drop the hops below 1 oz or not and if i should leave the finishing at a 1/2 oz or go smaller any insight you guys can give would be great thanks
Ingredients:
6 gallon recipe
6.6lbs Irks Wheat extract
1-2 lbs Amber Dry Malt Extract
2 cups Carapils
1 1/2 oz Hallatter hops (bittering)
1 tsp Irish moss
1/2 Saaz hops (finishing)
3 1/2 quarts FROZEN blackberries added to help cool wort
1 cup corn sugar for priming
