    bottle sanitation question

    I'm about to bottle 36, 22oz bottles, I was wondering if I could make a batch of starsan water and fill the bottles a quarter of the way, shake them then pour it out and immediately fill with the brew?

    Started a batch of Cooper's Stout

    Followed directions from kit. Starting O.G.: 1.040 Airlock was going bananas for two days. Third day gravity is at 1.020 Been fermenting at 24C Smooth sailing thus far, I plan on leaving in the fermenter for a minimum of two weeks then bottling for three.

    Got bored, went to the store, now making prison hard cider.

    Went to Walmart picked up all this, I mixed 2.5L of apple juice with a cup of sugar, 16oz of honey and bakers yeast. Just an experiment because I'm bored. Popped on an airlock and will see where the gravity is in seven days. Starting gravity was 1080 btw.

    Corny Keg Vs. Bottling

    I'm very interested in purchasing a corney keg, I had a few questions. SO as apposed to bottling, you siphon your brew into the keg and add CO2, but do you then store it? Does it need to stay cold? Do you always have to have your CO2 tank attached? How soon is it able to be served? I know you...

    My next brew idea

    Since I'm really new to all this I wanted to try different styles before going full grain and cooking. So I'm considering Coopers Dark Ale can, but I want to use 3lbs of DME instead of their "brew enhancer", and possibly some honey. Any advice?

    Coopers Kit and DME

    I purchased 3lbs (1.36kg) of Pilsen light Dried Malt Extract, and I plan on using it instead of the brewers sugar the Coopers kit comes with. Should I just use the entire bag? And do I add it at once or slowly as I add the water?
