I get to drink at least 3 times a week (mrs is strict). How many times do you get to shoot people? :)

Fortunately, in Australia it's legal to distill small amounts of alcohol. Upto 5 Litres (about a Galon).

I store mine on the shelf. The temp around 75F is perfect.. The lower the temperature and the longer it'll take to carbonate and condition. I find after about 4 weeks the beer is perfect at around the 75F mark. And I only put the bottles in the fridge the morning of the day I will drink them. :)

How come everyone is overlooking taking S.G. readings? :) Take a S.G. reading just after you lay the brew down, then 7 or 10 days later, take two readings on two consecutive days, and if they're the same then it's time to bottle.

The only way I can think of to accelerate the brewing process is to raise the temporature in the drum during the first stage of fermentation.. (say 28C with an Ale yeast). But if you rush the drinking it's just going to taste too green. pass

Care to post the link/recipe?? :)
