^ Smart idea!
Well I don't have the time to read them all but I just wanted to add something. I just did my first all grain 1gallon brew. It was fun don't get me wrong. The only thing I have against it was that it only brews 1 gallon. I got the kit so I could experiment with things and not loose to much.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that I will not buy and 1 gallon kit. I will just buy everything.
I've heard guys do something like a yardstick divided by the boil time and then spread the hops along the stick so they have something to go by.

Thanks!
he's baaaackkkk
hi guys... i got a weekend off.
today is bottling day (three batches)
and then, depending on whether swmbo has plans, i may get to brew tomorrow.
i'm soooo jonesing for a brewday i can't believe it.
it's been since before Christmas
yeah, i know, but it's that whole job thing
you have to earn it while it's around to be earned, you know? with a little luck i can keep it up for a while, even though it messes with my brew schedules.
do they put missing brewers pic's on milk cartons or beer bottles?

Hey guys how much grain do you use for this one gallon batch?
How much hops on average do you need?
I'm trying to build a beer and only do it in a one gallon batch. Just trying to feel I out on what I need to do this. I have done kit after kit so I know how to do that all grain and extract alike. I just want to make my own beer now.
I have to admit that this idea intrigues me. Is there a repository of 1 gallon recipes?
dadshomebrewing said:Three ways
1. Use a recipe for a big batch and divide by 5.
2. Do all the math yourself from the ground up, using something like ray Daniels book.
3. Use software like beer smith or Ibrewmaster, especially since they both have the option to scale recipes
Option 1 is easiest for your first try, or option 3
Problem with scaling could be omitted very easy, if all the recipes were 'coded' in % of grist and IBUs for hop additions. OG and FG given as usual.
No problem with imperial vs metric, 5 gal vs 1 gal vs 20 bbl.
I think we should ask people making recipes just to write'em that way!

Here is my first try. Was the Everyday IPA from Brookly Brew Shop. It looks great, was perfectly carbonated, just wasn't super tasty. Was missing some of the hoppiness and citrus flavor I like in an IPA. It's definitely serviceable though so I'll take that as a success my first time around.
