You could I guess...if you're sure you got the zip lock bags sanitized...then again I wouldn't but that's me.

I was reading through your website and facebook page about brewing a beer everyday for a year....quite a challenge. I assume you want a quick and easy way to cool your beer....it doesn't get any easier than an ice bath in the sink. Easy set-up and almost no clean up. Here's a thought....have...

Your amounts look a little low on the grain side of things and a little high on the hops so.... Using a smartphone app the amounts should be more like... 41.75 ounces of 2-Row 14 ounces of Flaked Corn 3.5 ounces of Minute Rice 1.5 grams of Williamete 1.5 grams of Crystal Hope that...

I'm sure you'll be fine.....I'm a Keep It Simple Stupid brewer though. I don't like to open and close containers to add or remove things or at least keep it to a minimum like dry hopping a couple of days before bottling.....In my mind it opens the possibility of infection or contamination...

bleme.....I was thinking the same thing but having not done this myself I couldn't put any personal experience behind it. I think the amount of sugar left shouldn't effect his carbonation too much...it may take a longer to get the level intended.

I actually went the other way....I bought a kegging system and was going to build a fridge to hold it all. Then I decided I wanted to brew 2.5 gallon batches...of course that was 15 years ago and I didn't know that 2.5 gallon kegs existed so I sold it to someone who was starting out. Now at...

I used my "Ugly Junk" mill to grind up 2.5# of grain for a brew yesterday. It works really well for BIAB and small batches...It only took me about 10-15 minutes to crush up the grain. Another place to look for them is Wal-Mart.com plus free delivery to the store. Sent from my SCH-R530U using...

Personally I don't....I use a whisk and stir it until it has a nice frothy head on it then add dry yeast. I like to brew under the KISS principle.

I made a bottling bucket out of a 2 gallon paint bucket. Just make sure you run your drill bit backwards so it doesn't chew up the plastic...

Welcome Craig....I'm glad you found your way back to brewing. Yes this thread has taken a life of its own...Don't be afraid to ask a question even its been covered before....

I'm very content brewing 1 gallon batches. I started brewing 5 gallons then dropped to 2.5 gallons...now I brew 1 to 1.5 gallons batches and very happy that I switched.

What helped me was to brew slightly larger batches of wort...like 1 1/2 gallons. So when it was time to pour into my fermenter, I would get a whole 1 gallon and leave most of the hops and trub in the kettle. Lately, I've been using 2 gallon buckets and pouring everything into the bucket...all...

Hey dads....I'm still here. Good to see ya back.

I noticed an excessive boil off when I switched to 1 gallon so I turned down the heat so I got nice moving boil and not the violent boil most brewers suggest....I know what your thinking but when I did 5gallons on my stove top I couldn't get a strong boil back then either and my beer tasted fine...

I brewed this 5 gallon recipe from 'Brew Your Own' as 2.5 gallons so I just halved all the ingredients. I didn't follow the same mash schedule....I just did a single step BIAB mash at 154 for 60 minutes....its was good enough that it was the first beer I finish of all my beers last Fall. And...

The huge difference with doing all grain beer at 1 gallon vs. 5 gallons is the temperature drop during mashing. A 1 gallon mash just doesn't have the mass to hold the heat so I put my oven on its lowest setting (170) and place the mash pot inside. Some people turn off the oven right away, others...

A 1-Gallon forum was asked for by huntingohio almost a year ago... https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f22/we-need-small-batch-brewers-section-365395/ In my experience, the linear relationship of 5-gallon recipe to 1-gallon recipe is very close and is a good starting point for brewing. The biggest...

Hey dads Haven't been posting much either, I always take the Summer off from brewing. Looking to get my first batch done soon.

The ending was epic...

Demolition man...so bad its funny and I still watch it whenever its on tv.
