Quick question, I have a one gallon brewing kit and have noticed that the one gallon recipe refill kits are quick expensive compare to the 5-gallon kits. Can I buy a five gallon kit and just divide everthing by 5? Great video by the way!
Is this extract brew kits? I've never brewed extract. I think that for sure you can split it but you would need to be careful with the extract liquid resealing and probably best using it sooner rather than later!! Hops can be sealed in zip locks or vacuum (best) and stored in the freezer. Yeast you could harvest the slurry and re-use. I would indeed divide by 5 - you can always input the recipe into something like brewfather app to check it still hits the right colour, gravity, ibu etc.
@@theculturebrewingchannel5619 I've been looking at the 5-gallon full grain kits. From what I can tell the difficult part will be splitting the yeast packet 5 ways - nothing a good food scale can't solve
Easiest way is to use a brewing website/app like Brewfather - you can enter the recipe as is and then change the units to imperial to make it calculate for you and then scale it to 1gallon. You could also figure out how many US gallons in an Imperial Gallon and then scale the recipe down to that size.
