I'm willing to bet on a college campus you could find glass bottles for free as opposed to $8 a case. I thought to prime it was 3/4 cup od corn sugar made into a simple syrup with equal amounts of water, then the simple syrup was added to your racked beer for bottling. Is that right?

I am new to brewing too, but I got into it recently because my friend in the neighborhood brewed an Anhor Steam replica, which I believe is the same as a California Common. Anyway, his brew seemed 'yeasty', but I enjoy the yeast character/flavor. I had also read that the sulfur smell is...
