Hi All, i'm new here and to brewing. I have read alot and watched alot or brewing videos and am confident enough that i understand the process. I'm also a chef that's done alot of molecular gastronomy so am good with the science stuff.
My questions are: I'd like to start by doing a bunch of small batches to test different recipes out. I'm thinking of approximately 4-5 litre batches (as in, 4-5litres or beer after ferment).
I'm thinking of starting by doing full grain BIAB. My main question i guess, as i'm currently shopping for my equipment, is what size pot is needed for smallish batches, and also with teh size of fermenters.. to get 4-5litres in the fermenter, do they have to be around that size themselves or can i ferment small batches in larger fermenters? I'm planning to buy probably 3-4 fermenters to have a few small batches going at the same time.
My thought behind this is that if it all goes well, id do bigger batches, but would be good to not have to buy larger equipment and just start off with the larger stuff already, but still doing small batches
Anyways, looking forward to responses and thanks in advance!
