Home Brewing Biography: I got into homebrewing with basic homemade hard cider. (Sugar and yeast added to fresh cider from a local mill, put a balloon on top, sit for 30 days, enjoy). The next step for me was to Welch's frozen grape juice wine. I had a friend who made partial mash beer so he got me into that about 2 years ago. This past fall of 2011 I got into 'real' wine with freshly pressed grape juices from a local vineyard and home pressed fruit wines. I am now making the step to All-Grain beer and am really enjoying the process!

Yep, get it into a warmer place. 70* is idealI completely agree. I condition mine in a dark
closet upstairs where the temp is pretty regularly 70. I get regular carbonation within 7-10
days every time...
