Just met a former brewer and bought his collection of 16 oz bottles for $25.00 all in all I ended up with 250+ beautiful bottles to add to the collection and fill with all sorts of tasty brews. That will make for a fun fall season of brewing!

My pipeline is definatley filling up and I grabbed one of those mini kegs from the local home brew store. It is one of those 5 litre mini kegs with the little spout on the bottom. I am looking at just filling it up and keeping it in the fridge till we have a few friends over where we can just...

Once I have my bottles washed out and such, would it be bad to just have a large rubbermaid tub with my starsan solution in it and then just take out 6 bottles as needed while i am filling them up? Bascially how dry do the bottles have to be before filling them?:D

Hey everyone I am quite new when it comes to homebrewing and such but I have been trying to absorb all the info I can on here and I had a real basic question. When you are steeping the grain bag is it bad to kind of move it around a little bit almost like a big tea bag or is it best to just let...
