  Maybe not the best technique, but maybe not a disaster. The real key to not making terrible
  beer is sanitation. As long as you used a good no-rinse sanitizer like StarSan on the vessel
  and funnel you ...

  ah ok i guess i assumed it was the same for everything in a clear bottle beyond millerMost
  likely you're right. That's probably why Heine does it.

  I thought they put it in clear bottles because they use hop extract which doesn't have as many
  of the skunking compoundsAs far as I know, that was Miller. It also gives them a foam stand
  unparalleled ...

  I was only kidding a little about the light-struck. Most of the Corona/Heinekin drinkers I know
  would think its a different beer without the skunky. I don't want it either, but I always give
  the wife ...

  found this, never tried it thoThat's pretty much it. If you dont use lager yeast, you could use
  cream ale yeast blend(wlp080) or even a US-05 at cooler temps- about 62F. It still won't have

  Corona is a lager, if you don't have a way to ferment at colder, controlled temps, go for a

  How long has it been in primary? If it "hasn't bubbled in a week" it is done. Package it.
  There's really no reason to leave it in primary for extra time either. Taste it, if it doesn't
  taste like diac...

  I get my blackness with a de-bittered malt like Briess Blackprinz or Carafa IIII also like
  Briess Midnight wheat for some extra flavor and body. Black patent is too roasty for what I'm
  looking for and...

  I would get this instead of the boilermaker.Bayou Classic 15 gallon w/ false bottomThat's about
  $200 cheaper than Northern Brewer's price for the Boilermaker, before they add shipping. Then
  you could ...

  I love my 15g Boilermaker. If you can afford it, it is worth the extra money. I think the only
  way to improve it is to buy a bigger one! Sight glass is actually fairly accurate. I like the
  add-ons lik...
