It's only been 4 days since I got my first batch (an American amber) into the fermenter. Considering that I haven't stopped thinking about, or reading about brewing for the last 2.5 weeks I figure I may as well just jump right into it. I literally woke up thinking about bottling this morning.
I have a short list of things that I want to upgrade right away, first being a second fermenter so I can get 2 batches going at once. I know I'm going to be super impatient about letting the bottles condition properly, and my roommates will be breathing down my neck as well. I think picking up a second fermenter will be the best way for me to get a pipeline going with a variety of beers (i'm itching to get an Ubu clone started).
Where is the best place online to buy a better bucket? My LHBS doesn't carry them, and the prices I've found online seem like they are a little steep.
Thanks in advance... I feel like this new hobby is the beginning of a beautiful lifelong relationship for me. Its killing me being on the road this week when all I want to do is sit and watch bubbles come through my airlock.
