Merry Christmas everyone!!

I haven't either but I bet just like in the U.S. they have their special beers. I think all mass produced American beers are discusting. Busch, mich, Bud, Miller... I think they all suck. I do really like sake!

Any beer bottle will do (pop off cap kind is best I think). Save or have your friends save their bottles and just clean and sterilize them in the tub. You can also buy new ones by the case at brew stores/online. If you're brewing 5 gallons at a time then you'll just need 8 six packs.

Sounds good but a little complicated (for me). I've brewed about 6 times in the last three months, all extracts by John Bull and True Brew. Mostly porters, stouts and IPA's. It's just so easy. What you've described looks good, though. For the Irish Stout I have fermenting now, I put...
