1. Can I use a one gallon glass jug to for primary fermentation?
2. I own a copy of The Joy of Home Brewing, using your techniques and the recipes in my book by reducing the recipe to make a one gallon batch; Will this produce a good final end product?

You have a lot of potential for DMS issues with only a 15 minute boil. Its ok if you are doing straight extract, but being that you are doing a mini-mash (or worse a full mash) you don't drive off the compounds that produce DMS. You can get beer that tastes like creamed corn.
Also, the 15 min hop addition is different than a 60 minute one. While it does add bitterness, a 15 min addition adds more flavor than a 60 min addition. Safe with hop forward recipes, bad for others (i.e. hef)

Hey Ben I've been looking to pick up a 1 gallon kit but your site has been down for the last few days. Any ETA on when it will be back up?

Hey there. Great video. I have some questions for you!
1) You're the first person I've ever heard say you only need to boil for 15 mins. Why is that? I love the idea, I'm curious why you can do it with 1gal and not 5gal?
2) Does a 1gal take less time for primary fermentation?
Thanks!

Because there's more volume with 5 gallons and you need more hops to extract the alpha acid content for bitterness. With 1 gallons, if you add half an ounce then you only need to boil for 15 minutes to extract the alpha acids from the hops.

Usually 6, more if it's a lager.
