Back to Brewing

[Laz]

Hi

I am going back to home brewing after a brake of about 5 years.
I the past I have brewed from kits, malt extract and grain
Now I want to make small grain brews of about 2 gallons.
Any advice would be welcome
Cheers

Hi Laz, welcome to the foum :

Have a read through the Back to basics challenge thread - plenty of info on there about small batch brews being done by various forum members :drink: :drink: :drink:

if you go to the recipe link top right you can copy recipes to you and then scale them to 2 gallons (9 litres).

Saves a lot of calculation.

Welcome to the Forum Laz, quite a few of us, me included, have returned to HB after a break.

Thanks everyone I've just bottled my first batch, can't wait to try to now.

... but only slightly longer :whistle:

Seriously though, how about going for a standard length brew and then splitting the wort?

I've tried that a couple of times, extracting 30 litres and doing two 15 litre boils with different hops.

Whatever you decide, welcome to the forum :

I'd love to brew more but at the moment space is an issue,
Spliting the wort and using different hops sounds like a great idea.
