I just drank my last bottle from when I was brewing one gallon batches at the beginning of last year. It was amazing! That was also when I was learning about flaked barley. A pound goes into any brew now and DCS is a regular.

Body, body, body.
Actually I think I had it all wrong for the oz measurements.
1.4 lb Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0 SRM)
4.8 oz White Wheat Malt (2.4 SRM)
3.2 oz Caramel/Crystal Malt 60L
2.4 oz Chocolate Malt (350.0 SRM)
1.6 oz Roasted Barley (300.0 SRM)
1.6 oz Lactose (Boil 10 min)
0.15 oz German Magnum...
I'm new and brewing AG and really want to get nice stout in March.
Will the below coversion work for a 1 gallon system?
Do I make the mash with the below 7 ingredients and add the rest in the boil as the times are written?
1.4 lb Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0 SRM)
0.3 oz White Wheat Malt...
Will my conversion work for a 1 gallon brew and be ready for March?
1.1 lb Pale Malt (2 Row) UK (3.0 SRM) 63.8 %
0.425 lb Barley, Flaked (1.7 SRM) 24.6 %
0.175 lb Roasted Barley (300.0 SRM) 10.1 %
0.025 lb Acid Malt (3.0 SRM) 1.4 %
1 oz Goldings, East Kent [5.00%] (60 min) Hops 31.2 IBU...
Yes. Ten bottles. I'd have to pitch whatever I use for the readings and that could lead to one less bottle and that would kill me. If it were 45+, not so much.
But it might be something I'll look into later on.
Thank you
Just to let you know, I should have read the instructions for your kit before I started. Your's says to roast chestnuts for 20 minutes at 400 degrees. Mine said 170 degrees. I should've bought them off the street.
I shine a flashlight on it once everyday and you can see activity slowing...
I spoke to a couple of brewers at the shop and they said since I was brewing only a gallon that I really didn't need the hydrometer but couldn't answer how long to keep the fermenting other than refering to the directions that were not that clear. I'm just making sure there isn't any activity...
I just want to get a taste of the brew process so I have a one gallon brew kit from brooklynbrewshop which gives you ten bottles. It's perfect for a tiny space. I'm really liking the process sor far but I do have a question or two.
-When does day 1 start for the 2 week primary fermentation...
