15-20 gallons, my last batch i left in the fermenter for a month and i'm coming up on a month of bottle conditioning.

I honestly wouldn't be drinking this much beer if i didn't make it. So no it's not a money saver for me. But i really enjoy making beer, i like the smell and i like the process. Plus the best beer i've ever had was a batch that i made, so that's why i continue to brew. Because i can't find beer...

there is such a thing as bottle conditioning. The beer is going to end up in glass anyway right?

I've been having trouble cleaning the corners of a baking pan thingy. Can i just throw it in a sink of oxyclean and let it soak, or would the oxyclean be bad for the metal?

Nah the Rapture happened, almost got Raptured last night. As i was grabbing a pack of homebrew readying for ascension they told me there was no beer allowed in heaven; so i decided to stay.

might need more yeast.

i keep hearing people say to let the beer condition in the bottle for about 3 weeks before drinking it. Should i let my beer go for longer then that?

is going over 3 weeks a bad thing? Currently got a batch at about 2 weeks in bottles.. i think.. i was planning on letting them condition for a month. Good/bad idea?

never saw it, but i like beer documentaries.. any reason in particular i shouldn't watch that one?

I've heard people suggest going out and getting those buckets that hold frosting for brewing so i think your good. It obviously won't hold as much beer as a larger fermenter and a little bit of space will be taken up by the krausen. But yeah, it'll work as a fermenter. Just clean it up, don't...

yeah i'm with TXCurtis, couldn't hurt to be a little paranoid by this point. A security camera might keep him from trying to do something stupid to your truck again. Even one of those fake ones will scare away a lot of people but a real one has an added benefit of actually working.

the rar thing is because people like to put trojans/viruses all kinds of nasty business in them. But if you want to download rar's do it. I really don't care, it was just a warning. It's not really a big deal if you know what your downloading or trust the source but if your not sure, i'd just...

Computer science student here. I've formatted my computer about 30 times in the last 10 years. It's hit a pretty simple process. I keep a back up of the files i can't stand to lose. A list of the programs i use most often and keep track of where my OS install disk and utility disk is. I'd...

Congratulations on your first brew day! I've been sticking it out without an immersion chiller i can only imagine it makes a world of difference.

I filled the airlock with vodka just to be on the safe side not that i have any idea whether this causes suck back. Anyway the krausen went all the way through the airlock and dripped a bit, i thought i had left plenty of head-space so i was a bit surprised.. luckily i keep the carboy in a chest...

I'd suggest getting a few extract batches in before hand. I haven't done AG before but i do find enough work involved in making extract batches that i'm less inclined to try.

Now The Wait Begins... i've gone through the Budweiser factory tour about a 100+ times (I was passing by.. it would have been WRONG Not to go in..) and they've pretty much beat into my head that beer goes skunky from getting to much light and being to warm when stored. Your going to want to...

it puts out decent beer, just be warned your going to have to deal with a little more sediment.

http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/electronic/e712/?cpg=151H&image I know how people here like to have a lot of bottle openers and it seemed like something a lot of people would be into. I mean you can never have enough bottle openers right? And sometimes your keys are just to far away.
