  And that is exactly where we totally disagree. Added fats and oils are good, and natural- not
  those "transfats" and industrial seed oils- but natural fats like tallow are very good for you.
  It's true ...

  My experience is as little as 5 days to 3 weeks... though I usually add yeast at bottling.
  These days I only bottle Belgians and bottle the others from the keg...

  With our system and our house IPA (Double Jack clone)... 4-5 days fermentation, 4-6 days
  dryhopping... then 10-16 days to bottle carb(if not bottling from the keg)... And that is with
  an OG of 1.085.....

  When I only had one hydrometer at a time I would occasionally break one. Once I acquired
  several of them... not a problem. Same thing with keys. When I only have one house or car key
  you can bet dolla...

  Craigslist for locals getting out of the hobby. Expand the search as needed. Drawback is it can
  take a spell... or not. I've had some nice scores from people moving, getting out of the hobby,
  or unfor...

  beer won't care.

  Add about 3.75 oz of sugar to about 1 1/2 - 2 cups of water and boil for about 10 min. Let it
  cool a bit then add it to the bottom of your bottling bucket. Drain the beer onto the sugar,
  give it a gen...

  Buckets for sure... that and a conical fermenter. Having several buckets each of 5, 6.5, and
