  Update time! I got lazy and waited months to actually start using my new equipment. Then I
  brewed, put it in the primary 2 weeks, secondary carboy 2 weeks, then bottle conditioning 2
  weeks. I am now e...

  Will do. I know they have all their own stuff, and it would be very easy for me to pick up all

  Any ideas on batches? I'm not sure what brands are best since all I've done is mr. beer. I'm

  Okay, so I finally got a big ass shipment of supplies. I put a thermometer on my keg and it
