Can you use this for multiple feedings throughout the ferment? (I've read about feeding at the start, and at 1/3 and 2/3 into the ferment.)

I would not recommend that practice as too much nutrient will cause unpleasant flavors

Yes, you can use for multiple feeding you just use the same amount. 1 tsp/ gal. So 6 gal batch would be 3 feedings of 2tsp each.

Never tried making half a batch in my 1 pint size, but i don't see why you couldn't. You're just using a whole canister of g as on half a bottle of cream.

no iam afraid you can't you can get it in the middle of two but it is not supposed to do it at any strength. I had one before that did it and i did not like it as much as this one. it is a joy to use.

If you take some from your first batch and just freeze it in an ice cube tray you now have several batches of starter, and when you run out you can repeat the process up to 10 times/generations before it doesnt set up well. I only buy some starter about once a year and i eat yogurt almost every day. I have also found that time to set up increases as you get several generations into the process.

I have found that you can use a small scoby for large amounts (i have only gone up to 2 gallons) but it seems to take longer to ferment. hope this helps!

It can be used for both. Different mixture is needed. Check Fox Farm for feeding schedules.

I used it when the keg was one third full just to try it out before I took the keg away from the main CO2 bottle and regulator . I would say it might take two or three of the CO2 bombs to do a whole 5 galon keg. This is to push the beer out not to carbonate the brew. I will still use the regulator for that as it would give you more control.

Aimee, You can make a brew from start to finish. In fact, you make 2 with this kit. However, I would gather $10 or so and get a hydrometer to measure specific gravity before and after fermentation to verify alcohol content and if fermentation is complete. You don't have to because this kit includes "Hopped Extract" which means that you don't need to add any Hops to your brew, they did it for you. It is completely ready to go and the results should be the same every time you make a batch. They take all the science out of the process by pre-hopping the extract. Last note: My friends love the Aztec and Bohemian extracts that came with my kit. I have now moved onto All-Grain brewing with the occasional non-hopped extract brew. Good book to read is "How to brew" by Palmer. Hope that helps!

You possibly may be able to use the kit to make smaller amounts but I wouldn't try it the kits a designated for 6 gallons. you possibly might try dividing everything in half I simply don't know how that's going to work out. with use of Yeast and other aspects of the recipe good luck

You would probably want at least 2 so by the time you are on your 3rd feeding, the first one is dry and you can just keep cycling through them.

I believe you can dispense 2.5 cups max in 1 feeding. You can select in increments of 1/4 cup. When setting the dispenser you select "1" for 1/4 cup, "2" for 1/2 cup, "3" for 3/4 cup..etc. It goes from 1-9, and I believe 0 is for 10...which would equal 2.5 cups.

Yes it has up to 3 times for feeding. You can adjust your times to your normal feeding.

It doesn't allow 1/3. I have it feed 3times aday of 1/4. U can do it to 1/4, 2/4, 1/2 & another one I can't remember.

5 weeks, I did 2 weeks primary fermenter 1 week secondary, 2 weeks conditioning[corbonating]. I was one of the best batches i've made. I would say everyone else thought so also. It was gone in about a week.

Hi Shelby....I think a gallon jar for the first ferment and then locking jars for the second ferment in about 8 days or so. I think that is it. You will also want to flavor the second ferment with fruit juice or fruit. Let me know if you have more questions.

I uses 1/3 cup concentrate to 3 parts water. During mid summer to now I still use 1/3 cup food but fill the feeder I have up to the top with water. Hope this helps.

I don't use tubing to drain the wort. I just open the valve with my fermenter bucket underneath. I move the bucket to keep the stream of wort splashing constantly. This helps to aerate the wort prior to pitching the yeast. If you ferment in a carboy I guess you could get a threaded hose barb and clamp on a hose that drains into the carboy. Sorry, but I don't know what size.
