I’ve been thinking about doing more small batch brewing, especially for things like IPAs where I want to tweak the dry hop additions without spending so much money on a whole bunch of 5 gallon batches. This way, I can take a 5 gallon batch, ferment it out, then do 5 separate dry hop additions in separate 1 gallon ‘secondaries’.
Seems like a faster, less expensive way to tweak your homebrew recipes.
Nice article, thanks.

It’s big enough for 1-3 gallon batches. I line it with a 5 gallon grain bag (or paint strainer bag) and then transfer that bag to my zappap (bucket in bucket) lauter tun.

I only learnt this year how much I enjoy a GOOD beer after visiting a tap house in Arizona and being able to try a few kinds. Since then I’ve found German wheat beers are hand down my favourite!

I feel like I always forget what changes I wanted by the time I get around to repeating recipes…

We’ll see how it turns out and then maybe scale up to 5 gallons (or more…)!
