My wife bought me a 1 gallon brewing kit from Brooklyn Brew Shop at Whole Foods. I used to always admire it when we would go shopping so she got it for me as a Christmas gift. Boy oh boy my life has changed ever since. I didn't know it then but these kits are high quality therefor makes awesome beer. Something else I didn't know if that I was making an all grain batch. Something most newbies don't do.At 1 gallon it can be easily done using stuff you already have in your kitchen. The kit has everything you need including hops and yeast.
My first brew was a chocolate maple porter. It uses maple syrup as the priming sugar for bottling. The website had a video tutorial that was only a couple of minutes and pretty much they tell you if you can make oatmeal, then you can brew beer. I really enjoyed this kit and would recommend to anyone getting started out. Only thing is I fell in love with brewing and 1 gallon was just not enough.
1 Gallon concept... Well the founders of this kit live in Brooklyn and as many live in an apartment with no room for a big brewing set up. It's basically designed for those wanting to make the best quality beer with minimal space.
The work involved in brewing a 1 gallon and a 5 gallon was about the same so we opted for a 5 gallon kit shortly after our second beer on the 1 gallon kit. A tripel!
Now I use the 1 gallon carboy for huge yeast starters :)
