The immaturity displayed in this thread is staggering. The AB distributer is probably just a tool who has been pushed to the edge one too many times. His wanting to right a wrong and turn in a theif isn't the wrong here...but not contacting the OP beforehand was. That however, isn't worthy of...

I would put on a pair of goggles and gloves, and open them all up and drink them today. But that's just me :p

Very educational, thanks folks I appreciate the critique and advice.

Forgive my ignorance, but is there really a point to the seamingly hundreds of yeast strains? Isn't one per beer type enough, with perhaps a variation for high alcohol content or normal? I would like to keep a few yeast strains that are as flexible as possible so I don't have to keep track...

Screw ducking if she doesn't understand the cycle of life then she doesn't love you.

Yeah it's gotta be a supply and demand thing. Even the SA knockoffs like Costco's Kirkland brang "craft ales" get me salivating more than New Castle. Not sure what the appeal of New Castle is at all other than foriegn beer. Maybe I need to try it warm or something.

Why? It would be a nightmare to clean properly. Why not just buy a giant plastic trashcan like everyone else :p Seriously, it will not be good for beer. For all the reasons it works for wine it will be detrimental to fermenting beer.

does it matter if they are aluminum or stainless steel?

Yeah I don't see the connection either...Changing diapers throwing off your timing or something?

And some people eat fried foods every meal and never develop heart disease or have MIs. Some people smoke for decades and never get cancer. Some people ride without their seatbelts their whole lives and live. Some people jump canyons with motercycles and live. There's a reason they are...

And really with products like star-san it's so freaking easy and cheap why on earth wouldn't someone sanitize? I mean if you're THAT lazy why brew your own beer to begin with?

Yes they have an optimal growth environment but two things. Firstly, the range can be quite wide, by many degrees. Secondly, there are a ton of bacteria in each specific range. Thirdly, the overwheming majority of possible contaiminants in our environment reside in the home. And finally, they...

Yeah ditto to the auto siphon those things are awesome and worth every single penny even if they were twice as much ;) And yes you can use the five gallon carboy for secondary. But yeah if you have to buy extra stuff to make the second bucket work (was assuming you had all the parts you...

Local Home Brew Store. And don't bother, you have two food grade buckets just split it up into two primaries is what I'd do...unless of course you just happen to have the extra money. But if you plan to someday upgrade to carboys I'd just save the extra money for that.

lol that is so awesome.

Wow give whoever came up with this idea a pat on the back. And two pats for whoever implimented it.

That's awesome thanks folks.

Sorry I've spent just under 30 mins looking through posts trying to figure this out, so I do apologize if this has been asking many times before. Also, sorry if it's a dumb question but I'm painfully new to brewing. What exactly do you do to make the cheapest/most productive possible...
