Brew 1 Gallon of Beer! - All-Grain BIAB

- An overview of my process for brewing 1-gallon all-grain using a BIAB (or MIAB?) approach. This video features me brewing a SMaSH (Single Malt and Single Hop) brew to evaluate Weyermann Floor Malted Bohemian Pilsner malt. The beer is made with Sterling hops and Cali Ale yeast. There is a bonus tasting of the same recipe made with Avangard Pilsner malt.
I plan to get a companion article about 1-Gallon BIAB up at some point, but for now check out my related BIAB content at www.cascadeshomebrew.com/.

Liked and subscribe. Great content and pacing. Really appreciate the explicitly labeled segments of the video! Easy to skip around.
Thanks, this is a great idea! This'll be great for test batches that I can scale up
Interesting video, I like your style :)
Great video thanks! I use the same method for my partial mash but I mash in the pot and wrap in a towel and sleeping bag and it only looses 1-2 degrees C. Saves you needing another vessel to mash in. I also use a hop-sock to put the hops in for a nice clean wort/beer but yours is super clear!
Glad you enjoyed the video. I should play around with just insulating the kettle. That is what I do for my larger batches.
Good video. Informative 👍
thanks, appreciate the videos.
Good video. Bottling 5 gallons takes me half a day I need to try this.
Love the video and your explanation! When you transferred your wort from the mash tun/cooler to the boil kettle, what was your pre-boil volume? Just looking for data on equipment and boil losses. Thank you and cheers!
Glad you enjoyed the video. I don't think I actually measured my pre-boil volume. I started with 1.5 gals of water and the recipe called for 2 lbs of grain. My recipe in BeerSmith predicts 1.4 gals pre-boil volume (plus 0.3 gals boil off and 0.1 gal kettle loss). I ended with a little more than 1 gal into the fermenter, so one or more of those numbers were off a bit. Starting with 1.4 gals might have been better.
Do your sugar cubes fully disintegrate in the beer in the bottles? I was wondering about this method
Yes, the cubes dissolve very quickly. In a 12 oz bottle, one of the 2.3 gram cubes will get you to the 2.6 volume level. That is a little higher than some styles call for, but it works well. The biggest downside is lack of flexibility for different carbonation levels and different size bottles. Note, the boxes with 198 cubes per 1 lb is what gets you 2.3 grams. There are also boxes with 126 cubs per lb, and those would be 3.6 grams each.
Hi what was the thermal giant flask thingy you used please .
I'm UK based and given the energy prices were facing this would be ideal as I'm looking at only making little batches
The insulated cooler that I have is a "Rubbermaid Victory 2 Gal. Red Cooler" that I picked up at the local Home Depot (hardware big box) for around $12 US. It works okay. One flaw is that the lid has no insulation, which is probably fine when used for cold beverages. So I tend to throw a few towels over the top for a little more insulation.
4 weeks in the bottle at what temperature? At what point do you put in fridge? At first I thought it would explode.
I usually condition my bottles for about 2 weeks in upstairs bathroom that is usually mid-70F then move them to a lower level that is upper 60F. Cold storage would be ideal, but I don't have fridge space for that.
@@CascadesHomebrew I thought four weeks sounded rather long. I once let some apple cider go too long. Had some bottles explode.
@@sammyreyes63they shouldn't explode if you use the right amount of priming sugar or tablets. Because eventually there is no more sugar for the yeast to consume.. did ur gravity reading show a complete fermentation? If there was residual sugars then that could've been the reason you had bottle bombs. Im not sure if you use priming sugar for cider or if you use whats left after fermentation.
Well either way i hope this information helps you out in some way or another, no one likes wasted alcohol especially one that goes boom!
Btw ive heard some people leaving to age their bottles for over a year.. Even currently i have multiple bottles that have been conditioning for over 2 months in the closet..
nice! what was your final gravity?
I could not find a record. It could be that with the small volume I did not mess with a gravity reading with my hydrometer. For a while I struggled getting accurate readings with my refractometer, but the last few times I have tried I was able to get a reading that matched closely with the hydrometer.
@@CascadesHomebrew ok, if you had to guess based on taste, would they be like a 5+% or less?
@@MrCaseymetallic I note and OG of 1.047. I would estimate a FG around 1.010, which would mean 4.9%.
I’ll have to give this a go.
5 gallon batches are becoming a bit much.
BIAB makes it pretty easy to scale to different sizes, say 1.5, 2, or 2.5 gal batches too. But yeah, often when I am about 3 gallons through a 5 gallon batch, I find myself drinking pints just because I want it gone so I have room for another beer.
Was your dad in Star Wars?
May the force be with you.
Dont knock me around too much, I am new and I don't understand the "smash beer" term.
SMaSH = Single Malt and Single Hop...a simple beer made with just one grain and one hop variety. It can be a good way to learn about new ingredients.
@@CascadesHomebrew thanks
I hate beer. I just started researching this shit to do something nice for my dad
Then he more or less quit and now I’m just doing it to prove to myself that I can
Maybe my brother could take it
Good luck with your brewing. There are plenty of options other than beer.
@@CascadesHomebrew
I’m very picky about what I drink (hard to find something I can actually handle/enjoy)
Anything I brew will be mostly for other people
Music sux
Thanks for the feedback...hope you enjoyed the video!
