Well, the six pack of IPA has now been bottled and is slowly undergoing its bottle fermentation in the living room right now. I hope to taste it in about two weeks, and now that I am done with this little project I have a few little observations to share. First, making 3 quarts of beer is way easier than making 5 gallons. The cleanup takes no time at all, chilling the wort is a breeze, everything is just very easy. Second, it is going to be a great way to get into wild fermentations and stuff like that. Throwing away a bad six pack of a brett beer is way easier than throwing away a full five gallon batch. Finally, I love imperial IPA's and was worried that with the hop shortage, enjoying a nice homemade Double IPA was going to be impossible. With the one gallon batch however it will be no problem. 3 ounces of hops in there will be more than enough.
All in all, it was a fun expirement that I would definitely recommend to anyone considering it.
