One Gallon Batches
I've been a regular reader of BrewAdvice, a home brewing Q&A site. Home brewers of all levels of experience and expertise ask and answer questions about culturing yeast, choosing hops, krausening, and generally anything that piques their curiosity while brewing. I've asked a few questions about making mead, mixing yeast, and Sarsaparilla beer. A recent question about brewing small batches got me thinking that one gallon batch sizes might be a good way to develop a recipe.

Fermentation Cogitation
(Editor's Note: This post originally appeared on http://sites.google.com/site/billsbrewing on June 21, 2010)
The two beers which I have fermenting right now are the Light and the Dark. Each of these was brewed with the same yeast strain, White Labs American Ale Yeast WPL060. They are being stored in the same location, and so have been kept at the same temperature. However,the Light has seemed much more aggressive in its fermentation. I had to switch out my standard three-piece air lock for my makeshift vinyl-tubing-submerged-in-a-bucket-of-water air lock.
