    This is supposed to be a Bridgeport "Hop Czar" Clone.

    This will be my first "all grain" and single gallon brew. I've made 4 "extract" Brews over the past two years with one flopping which was actually my first, they all gushed and some exploded in the middle of the night. The next three have been great and have been a local recipe from Nampa Brew Center called "Jump Creek Amber" which is an alt bier specifically supposed to be an Alaskan Amber.

    LONG STORY SHORT. I am concerned about the division of 5.5 gallons to 1 Do I just divide everything by 5.5? Second I am wondering about boil time and particularly Hop addition times!

    Thanks for any and all help! The link is below, best regards and happy brewing!

    Here is my math.
    Dividing everything by 5.5 and rounding if it wasn't within 1/10th of half.

    3.2 lBS English 2 Row Pale
    .1 lBS English Amber Malt
    .1 oz Warrior 16.0 AA%
    .1 oz Warrior
    .06 oz Simcoe 13.0 AA%
    .13 oz Willamette 7.o
    .2 oz Glacier
    .1 oz sterling
    .2 oz Millennium

    Measure with a micrometer...cut with a meat cleaver...it'll still be beer.

    ---
    More-or less...you simply divide the grain and hop bills of the original recipe's batch size by your batch size; however...if you're fermenting in a 1G fermentor...then your batch-size is closer to 0.75G.

    Length of boil and the hop schedule remain the same...at least on your first go'round.

    BTW...is your avatar a result of your first batch having "gushed and...exploded in the middle of the night?"
