Thank you all for the information. Just finished up. The little brown keg is sitting in my closet with the door closed. It will remain there for the next 12-14 days at around 68 degrees when I will bottle. Then it'll be sitting in the bottles for another 2 weeks. I'll keep you all posted on how it goes. Any information and experiences you guys want to share would be very much appreciated and taken into account. I may wrap the under side of the keg in clothes or towels because the temp my house is at is on the low end for what the directions say. Any information would be nice. Thank you!!!

As said earlier, welcome to the obsession. I got a Mr. Beer for Christmas and mad my first batch on the 26th, on the 27th I went to my local hbs and bought a Brewers Beast kit with 2 pails, 2 carboys, 5 gallon brew pot...you get the idea, as I sit here I am waiting on my 16 gallon Bayou Classic and Blichmann burner and the mill is in transit and I have 4 cases in bottle conditioning, 10 gallons fermenting and maybe 2 cases in my new beer 'fridge and I thought racing was expensive!

So just an update-finally bottled my beer yesterday evening. I took a lil sip n i tasted it. It tastes like flat beer which is what the directions say it should taste like. I'm conditioning three of the one liter bottles in my fridge for four weeks n I'm conditioning the remaining five in my basement for the same amount of time. Not quite sure what the temperature is in either location but it said to lager (cold condition) it should be between 35*f-50*f n the others should be between 55*f-70*f. I'm in eastern Maryland by Delaware n it's damn near 80*f outside n it's typically cooler in my basement. The fridge is around 35*f-40f* if I had to guess. Anyway, again any tips tricks experiences thoughts concerns of any kind are welcome. Thank you all in advance for your input and for any past inputs.
