Thanks Jollytim! I was thinking of doing the '2 weeks warm conditioning followed by 1 week in the fridge', so thanks for reinforcing. Yes, they are the 1 ltr PET bottles. As for the Oktoberfest, I don't have a choice (at this point at least) but to leave it in the fermenter for a while longer -...

Ok, I swear I have read all 203 pages of this thread and I still need help!! Two things - I have WCPA bottled (warm conditioning) right now and I am at the 2 week mark tomorrow. What should I do now? Refrigerate it for another week? Also, I have Oktoberfest in the keg fermenting now, also at...

Great! Good stuff here! How about Cedar Rose Brewing? Production brewery or Production Brewery in the making?

That is awesome! Good loophole! Is a brewpub the easier route to take as opposed to making and distributing?

Hello! Just joined yesterday - this site is, how do you say, almost overwhelming and I for one love it! I know NOTHING about brewing, but I do have my first batch of Mr Beer fermenting away in the laundry room as I type! So, just wanted to say 'hi' and I look forward to learning much, much...

OH! And Pilates and Yoga! That should be tied into point #1 up there.

Hello! New to the forum (and to brewing) and I saw this post and thought 'sweet! I can actually weigh in on something here...!' I have had disc problems for the past 11 years now - Sciatica on BOTH sides and surgery on the right side before (now dealing with the left side). The good news...
