start my 2nd on the the 4th

[mikes_brew]

I bottled and waiting for my 1st brown ale extract kit. I decided to try the 1 gal. in the new BYO by james spencer, I want to use the 1 gal approach for new and different beers and brew 5 gal. for ones I like. as I acquire carboys and equipment I can expand.
I'm not a real hop head so I talked to my local supplier and decided to modify the recipe a little and not do the dry hopping.
I can see how this can become a very addictive habit quickly.
ps: tapped a bottle of ale tonight on the 1 week conditioning and can't wait till 2weeks!

what do you guys think of the small batch methods?

Good for trying out recipes, except if it turn's out killer you only have a gal of it and that goes fast. Also if you can, 5 gal is not that much more brewing time. I brew 10 gal AG batches and it's a mere 1/2 hr longer brew sesh.
Cheers and welcome to the addiction.

that is true, but I have a 5gal. of nut brown to work on while I experiment.
