I brewed an Amber Ale kit from Midwest last year (first brew), and havent gotten around to doing another. Well now ive got the itch again. Looking for something with a little body to keep me warm, but with good drinkability for all palattes. I dont want something so dark that my lady friends...

ya i thought about that but its more work to have to build a collar and wire a temp controller and all that stuff. and i want something more portable and nice looking to keep inside. idk if i will be moving from my current house to another house, or an apartment in january so portability may be...

Any ideas as to why they're almost the same price when one comes with a dual reg, and the other one a single?

anyone?

everything feels more important when you wake up early to do it

kinda looks like buds

ya i mean i can scratch it with my fingernail and feel an obvious hairline indention, and run my fingernail down it like a track. some are longer and run for a couple inches some shorter. it seems more of a fracture than a crack, but most of the bottles have it so idk if they are safe to re use...

I got a 6 pack of fat tire, and after i finished them i was inspecting the bottles, and 4 of 6 have random hairline "indentions", i dont know if i should call them cracks or not. it kind of seems like they do not go all the way through. anyone else know about this? are the bottles still useable...

ok i was lookin around on the forum and came across some pics of peoples 3 tier and single tier set ups. Can somebody please explain these to me...what does what, and how do you transfer liquids from one another? If possible give me a simple rundown of how you would successfully use these...

pics!

I looked around and couldnt really find a clear answer to this exact question. I know that conditioning is faster in 70 deg temps as opposed to cold conditioning. So would it be wise to cold crash my brew in the carboy for a couple days, then keg it and leave at 70 degree temps for a few weeks...
