One gallon bach

[melon_convino]

Hi Guys, I want to start doing one gallon batches 1 hop 1 malt to start knowing better how this ingredients affect the flavor of the beer. Now, I buy whitelab liquid yeast and I want to know if one of you know how much yeast I will need and what to dose.
Thanks

I occasionally do 1 gallon all-grain batches and I'll pitch half of a White Labs vial for most beers. If it's a super high gravity beer, you could pitch the whole thing.

The Mr. Malty pitching rate calculator is good for figuring out the amount of yeast you'll need too:

If you want to experiment and keep brewing smaller batches like this make yourself a 1 or 2 liter starter and split that off into multiple jars / bottles. When you hit your last jar of yeast just make another starter with that and keep the cycle going. You will save a ton of money on yeast.

Hey edb,
Thanks, I will try to do 4 - 1 gallon batch and make a 2 Lt. starter and split a quarter in each batch. This is a good idea, THANKS for the advice.
