It's my understanding that fermentation time for beer (ale in this case) is fairly uniform regardless of batch size. I wanted to verify this. Last Sunday I decided to do a second runnings on my imperial stout and ended up with about a gallon and three fourths of 1.048 wort, which I boiled with some spare hops and fermented with some yeast I had saved. I'm fermenting it in a pot and can only see the top of the beer and it is going. I was wondering how long I should leave it for. I don't really carry if it doesn't turn out great, but I'm very keen to find out.

Just give it the same amount of time as a normal batch. You'll be good.
Cheers!

should be relatively the same, but the best way to determine is by checking gravity readings

I stick my wang in it, and if it tingles enough, the beer is ready to serve to my family and those with low functioning immune systems.
