1 gallon batch
1/2 ounce (3.5 HBUs) of Glacier (7.0%)
3# pale LME
6 cups of H2O for the boil
1.5 # mesquite honey
I pitched a single well started Red Star Montrachet on all four of the one gallon pilots I started today.
Schedule was 1 pound of LME and 1/8 oz hops with 60 minutes remaining in the boil, then repeat with 30 minutes remaining, then the third pound of LME with 15 minutes remaining. Flameout at 60 minutes, steep 1/8 oz hops for two minutes.
Strain.
Add honey to still very warm wort, stir it in, cover and let cool.
I put about two cups of cool water in the bottom of my one gallon glass fermenter. Friday this was a one gallon jug of apple juice...
Anyway, the cool water cushioned the glass from the wort. Including the yeast pitch I have about 3.5qts total liquid under lock, with another 1/8 oz Glacier in there for the primary ferment.
I did fill the fermenter in stages, cap and shake like for JAOM. Going for liquid hop candy here, the booze will be bonus.
