Water

[Ian Grant]

The water in these recipes is measured in US gallons correct??

[Shawn]

They are for my recipes... but I think some people use Imperial gallons.

I've started converting to metric because its confusing a bit.

Kegs are imperial, most of the grains/water are US....makes for easy mixup.

[Ian Grant]

Ya the can kits I made I used 5 imp. Gallons and I did my first all grain the other day and figured the recipes use US gallons.  I'll have to adjust it next time cause I still bottle(bulk prime) I'll have to guess on the sugar or put it in each bottle. Yay.

[Dave Savoie]

Ohhhh you should be using a bottleing bucket not putting sugar in each individual bottle much much easier and less tedious

The kegs we all have (i.e. the common cornelius ones -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornelius_keg) are 5 US gallons, not imperial gallons.

The common carboys are 23L: basically 6 US Gallons, or 5 Imperial Gallons.

Yay me getting it backwards ><

[Richard]

When I started brewing I didn't even realise there were two different kinds of gallons

[Gil Breau]

I learnt fast when I found out 5 gallons in a carboy doesn't fit into a keg
