Boil time is 1 hour.
60 Minutes, .5 oz of Target
15 Minutes, .75 oz of Challenger, .75 of Northdown

OG should be about 1.048

Ferment 1 week, put in secondary for 1 week, keg it for 1 week in the fridge. Impress friends.

Good luck!

Just how I like em....nice and simple. Awesome!! Thank you again, sir.

I suppose since your step one and my step one are the same, I have to have 2. Oh well, I gotta follow the directions, right?

Oh yah, gotta have 2! The 1 was a typo.

O k, so I called three shops here in Chicago and was told the same thing. In the Mid-West (mainly Chicago) Co2 and Beergas cylinders use the same threads. I also asked about using my C02 regulator on Beergas. All three places said "no problem". In fact one of them stated that they don't even carry different regulators and that all of their customers use standard Co2 regulators with beergas.

Here are the shops I called:
Airgas - Joliet 815-725-4595; 5Lb exchange only $52 (ouch!)

NFC - Chicago, 773-472-9570; 5Lb refill $20

City Welding - Skokie, 847-676-0003; refill $23.50

Yah know what it might be.. You can run C02 from a beergas (which I'll refer to as nitro) tank and a nitro regulator. So maybe the laws around your parts require tanks/regs to be handle higher pressure, and thus it's really all just nitro gear and thusly you can just run C02 out of it.

For me my nitrogen tank is female thread and nitrogen regulators are male. And the C02 tank is male threaded (which I use an adapter on to hook up to my regulators).

If I remember correctly my nitro tank came in at about 1500-1800 lbs, my C02 tank came in at about 800-1000 lbs. I guess if the c02 tank and c02 regulator are rated for whatever you are going to have for lbs, then it would work. I think that's the whole deal, it's not that it'll pour bad or anything, it's just that nitro typically comes at a much higher pressure, and you'll have to serve it at something like 35psi. The "nitro" gear is really just for the higher pressure.

When I called around my area there is a clear difference in tank swap prices, pounds in the tank, and regulators. It must just be a regional thing but that would be news to me. Then again I haven't been doing this too long so pretty much anything is going to be news to me! I guess as long as it's safe you'll be good to go!
