Simple and Affordable Setup for Small Batch Brewing
To brew one to two gallon batches more frequently, consider using a small four gallon kettle with a brew in a bag setup on the stovetop. Purchase a fabric filter bag or stainless steel basket for lautering, and ferment the beer in small glass or plastic vessels. This method is cost-effective and allows for easy mashing, boiling, and fermenting in small spaces.
Consider Electric All-in-One Brewing Systems with Caution
If you prefer using an electric all-in-one system, ensure that the model you choose can accommodate small batch sizes and has minimal dead space. While these systems have convenient features like built-in pumps and temperature controls, be mindful of the requirements for smaller batches.
Light Struck Beer Prevention
To prevent light-induced off-flavors, especially when brewing near windows, consider using opaque or light-blocking tubing like EVA barrier tubing. This type of tubing is cost-effective and provides visibility to monitor for any issues while offering protection against light exposure, which can skunk beer.
Affordable Solutions for Light Protection
While stainless steel tubing can provide light protection, it may be costly and less flexible for homebrew setups. A simple and budget-friendly solution is to use a curtain to block direct sunlight from reaching clear transfer lines, maintaining beer quality and preventing light-struck flavors.
