Are you planning on possibly "dry hopping" more tea and some more lemons in the secondary? Kris

Did you taste the sample you used to check your OG? How was it at this stage? Kris

For me, I always loved get my magazine subscriptions. My wife would send them over along with half a dozen other magazines about cars, trucks, motorcycles, etc. Made my day when I got that package in the mail. Other than that, beef jerky is a good choice. Favorite candy perhaps. If you are...

Do you lay them on their side or stand them upright? What about the airlock? This option seems very promising! Kris

Speaking from (in)experience in the scale of what you are after, but in the camping world, a wind screen around your stove or alcohol burner helps the efficiency immensely in windy conditions. I would definitely recommend using one. Kris

For the caps, are you just reusing the cap that came with the bottle, on say, as soda bottle or are you buying new caps from a brew store? I was just looking at a cap off a one liter bottle and I didn't see any kind of seal, that's why I'm asking. Plus, it'd be nice to have some plastic bottle...

Do you have any pictures of this setup? Sounds very interesting! Kris

I'm look for a good Red Ale kit for my first brew. I was eying Midwest's Irish Red kit and it seems to get pretty good reviews on their site. Does anyone have experience with this kit or can you recommend me a kit that you've had success with?! Thanks! Kris

My wife and most of her friends like Red beers. Just a thought. Kris

Couldn't you have all 5 gallons in your brew pot, cool, pitch your yeast (assuming you are using only one type of yeast), and then divide from that point? Kris

I like the crumpled paper. Kris

Very well done! Kris

Very nice! Kris

Either photo looks good. I'd be intrigued if I saw it on a bottle. I like the sepia toned one better though. Kris

I have no input, as I haven't even brewed one beer yet, but I love this idea! I think it would great, and a pictures of tasty pint's are never a bad thing! Kris
