mambitigre, I am a bit of a n00b, but even so, I would suggest taking the 2 1/2 teaspoons per 1 litre bottle, multiplying by 8 bottles, and using that amount to prime your fermenter before bottling.

Well when me and my buddy served our 1st batch (WCPA), one person made the comment that it was a bit cloudy and had some sediment in one some of the 1 liter bottles, so I thought secondary? Anyway, maybe I do not need one after all. I am just trying to stay ahead of the game when to comes to...

I would like to use a secondary fermenter like I have read about on this forum, but I have a few questions: 1) If I am fermenting in the Mr. Beer fermenter, what should I use as a secondary? 2) What is the best method of transferring from primary to secondary? 3) Should I ferment 1 week for...

Montgomery, AL and to my knowledge, nothing in the surrounding area that would have a LHBS, but I would love to be wrong... I am also having a hard time finding corn sugar at any grocery or Fresh Market stores. Also, I bought a 3-pack of yeast packets from a grocery store. Should I assume...

My Mr. Beer is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow, and I am already using what I learned on this forum to get a head start. So far, I bought yeast from my local grocery store, having read that the Mr. Beer yeast is mediocre at best. Also, I ordered some corn sugar online, having read that cane...
