I just want to get a taste of the brew process so I have a one gallon brew kit from brooklynbrewshop which gives you ten bottles. It's perfect for a tiny space. I'm really liking the process sor far but I do have a question or two.
-When does day 1 start for the 2 week primary fermentation? Is it as soon as it goes into the fermenter and hook up the blow-off or is it 2-3 days later when you change to the airlock?
-Coopers kits come with regular twist-off bottles for the conditioning. Have any of you tried that with grain or extract brewing?
-Since I only get 10 bottles, I'm looking for .33L swingtops. Buying beer that comes out of those are expensive. Anyone have any suggestions? Or, am I crazy and should I just get a capper? If so, which one?
