Monday is recycling day in my area. The bins should have lots of new years bottles.

Thanks! I think I will start my collecting now then. My first batch of Mr. Beer will be ready for bottling in two weeks (one week old now). I have a dark cabinet above the fridge for storing and conditioning. It should work until I have enough bottles.

I wish I hadn't used bread yeast. Now I'm dreading how it is actually going to taste. This will definitely be a benchmark for future wine.

Is there any issue with me bottling in a 2 liter soda bottle? I'm pretty new to this Brewing thing and I don't have any bottles. My wife refuses to let me buy bottles.

Here's a picture of my project. I just curious to see what happens.

I got my first beer kit for Christmas. Then I was curious to see if I could use bread yeast to make wine in a Welch's grape juice container. So I emptied all the juice remaining in the fridge into the container put in the yeast and covered it in saran wrap. Should be done before that first...

I just saw one on craigslist for 15 bucks and it comes with 8 liter sized bottles. Check there first.

Yeah. I'm just thinking ahead. I have two refills that were also gifts. That's about three cases worth...? I suppose in the Spring I will look at making something from scratch. Also Consider myself to be an excellent cook. I make homemade bread without a machine.

I got the Mr beer kit for Christmas as well. Is there a recipe for a simple beer using dry malt extract that I can brew with two or three ingredients? I want to make something affordable. I'm thinking DME, sugar, yeast, and hops. Would that be good?
