Step One: Take two buckets Step Two: Cut a hole in the bottom of one bucket Step three: seal the buckets together I am definatly going to have sour beer with this one. Its worth a shot.

This was from my mr. beer kit, which was a stupid thing to buy because I already bought my carboys and equipment inplace of it. - The last bottle where I pretty much dumped everything, including the yeast in. yummm Will it be safe to store the bottles in a bucket like this, just incase they...
