Home Brewing Biography: I got into brewing about 3 years ago. A buddy of mine was moving and had a Mr. Beer kit that had never been opened. He gave it to me and told me I could have it as long as I gave him a beer from the first batch of beer from it. After ordering new ingredients I got started with the batch and was incredibly satisfied with what I had made. The first recipe was an Octoberfest.
Future Brews: I plan on re-brewing a lager that I attempted some years back. It was the first time I broke away from the guidelines of a recipe. Reason I say "attemted" is because the beer was flat upon completion and it wasnt till recently I discovered the reason why it was flat and not carbonated :(

Yup...should be fine. Plenty of living yeast still in there too, so you shouldn't need to worry
about going to the bottles. If you want to reassure yourself though, you can always suck up a

I have an octoberfest brewing currently and tomorrow is its one month in the carboy but I wont
