I'm thinking of scaling down. When I started brewing, everything was 5 gallons. After having made some terrible beers over my time, and with so many options I want to try out and compare, I was thinking of scaling down. For example, if I wanna compare yeasts, maybe I make a SMASH beer but 2x1 gal. Use yeast A in the 1st gal and yeast B in the 2nd gal.

Also, I enjoy the act of brewing, but I only drink 1 beer a day, so that takes me 1.5 months to get thru 5gal a batch.

Has anyone scaled down? Did anything change or surprise you?

Kiddo wanted a ring holder. Kiddo gets a ring holder.

I really liked the coin model and my kiddo wanted something to hold rings and guitar picks, so I made it thinner and touched up the central detail.

I got roughly 12k, which is a lifetime for me. (I bottle exclusively)

Shameless plug for my own design. Printing these again this year for holiday gifts.

Blech. Tepache failure. It's supposed to go for 3-5 days, but mine didn't kick off for a bit. Day 6 & tastes good, but smells like a barn has gym feet. So weird.

This is my first cider. I threw in some grapes I'd frozen a while ago. I bottled directly from primary. 2 weeks in the bottle and I checked on it, saw the sludge on the left. A night in the fridge and then poured off the clear cider into one glass and the sludge into another. So much sludge. A good 15-20% of the volume. Lesson learned - rack to 2ndary for clarity sake.

This is so awesome. 1) Amazing in concept (CPU cooler on a 3d printer) 2) the clear plastic bits are so neat to see it working 3) the nostalgia for 90's clear plastic gadgets.
