From what i understand it wont fit the 1 gallon glass jugs
All you gotta do to avoid that prob is use 2 gallon ferment bucket

Just posted this in another thread, so thought I'd share it here too. These work GREAT for us 1 gallon brewers with 1-gallon glass carboys:

zeg said:Mine fits in all my glass jugs, from about 1.5 L through 1 gal. (They all take a size 6.5 stopper.) There may be some narrower-mouthed jugs out there, I suppose. There's not a whole lot of wiggle room, though, so you can't quite tilt the jug to siphon out of the corner like I often do from a larger carboy.
If I were going to do lots of 1 gallon brewing, a shorter siphon would be convenient just because the full-sized one is a bit unwieldy. I get tired of having to re-sanitize when I scrape the ceiling with it while trying to empty excess sanitizer from the hose.
+1 zeg
Full size works and I used it for quite a few batches before I got tired of fighting it. Little too long so it's awkward and top heavy and like zeg said just plain unwieldy. There pretty cheap and s great investment but definitely not necessary. I use it all the time lol
That was my thinking when I asked the question. I was sure I could use it but it would be cumbersome. For $8 I think I'll get the mini.
Now another question...1 gallon jug or 2 gallon bucket? The 1 gallon jug is nice and small but I feel it is better to have a little more head room just in case fermentation goes crazy. Any thoughts?
If you are starting from scratch, it wouldn't hurt to grab some two gallon buckets. I personally just use the 1 gallon glass carboys.
Every once in a while I see a used Mr Beer at a yard sale and I've often thought about picking one up to use as a fermentor. Having no personal experience with Mr Beer, is there anything I should look for to make sure I am getting a 'working' one or are they pretty indestructible?
2 Gallon Oatmeal stout on the go!
Who else is brewing today?

Cool avatar. I assume that's your label? I like it!

Hey guys. New soon to be 1 gallon brewer here. Gathering equipment. I saw this cheap stockpot at Walmart today. It seemed pretty thin. Does it really matter? http://www.walmart.com/ip/Mainstays-8-Quart-Stock-Pot/20713636

Hmm, maybe I should do inventory this weekend. I'm not totally sure what's in all those bottles....No brewing for me this weekend. 44 full 750ml bottles, 93 full 12 oz bottles, 2 gallons of cider in the bottling bucket, 4 1/2 gallons concord wine in primary, and about another gallon in miscellaneous other bottles. I wouldn't even be making the concord wine, but I finished the last bottle from the last batch...

I bottled my first batch yesterday. it is a www.smallbatchhomebrew.com East Coast Steam Ale. It smelled delicious. I should have tasted it but for some reason I didn't. It sat in the fermenter for about a month because I didn't have my bottling tools yet. SMH.
Now I'm looking for my next brew. I'm thinking of a Blue Moon clone for the wife. But, unfortunately, smallbatchhomebrew closed up shop last week. Does anybody have a recommendation of where to get 1 gallon recipe kits that are good and may have a Blue Moon clone?

That NB dead ringer is a great beer to have on hand! I tried that and then scaled it up it was so good.

Normal?
