mklawz, what hours are you working tuesday and wednesday?

I picked up a copy of BYO at B&N. mklawz, you guys still have the clone brew issue at the shop? What time on Tuesday will you be working? What other days this week?

I am very new to home brewing. My first batch is in my fermenting bucket right now. I bought a home brew kit at a garage sale that come with a fermenting bucket and a bottling bucket. So I have the first batch going in the bucket. I would like to be able to have two batches going at once. I...

What are some home brewing type magazines that are available? What's the "one" to get? Borders/Barnes and Noble Carry any?

When are you going to be in this weekend or early next week? I'd like to come in and ask a few questions and possibly get a better bottle. ETA: Do you guys carry the safale dry yeasts?

Actually I am looking for a good BMC beer for friends and partys, so that is good to know.

I was thinking about leaving it in the primary for 7 days and then bottle

started the first batch last evening around dinner time. I used the coopers lager kit and abouot 2.5lbs of corn sugar, made about 5gal. This morning when I woke up I went to check on it and the airlock was bubbling nicely.

for now I am using a plastic bucket that is probably close to 7gal, I made 5gal.

I picked up my can of Cooper's Lager at the local HBS. Should I make 5gal or 6? Will I run the risk of Blow off or what ever its called when the foam builds too much pressure, when using a 6.5 gal fermenter with 6gal of wort? 5gal? I hope to start tonight

mklawz, I had a break in my day so I went around noon. I'll see you the next time I stop in. The store seemed well stocked and prices were pretty good. I did end up getting a can of Coopers Lager. I hope to start brewing tonight!

I understand that serving beer from a keg requires co2. Let me rephrase my question: Is the co2 system carbonating the beer or just pressurizing the keg to serve the beer? Do you still need to carbonate the beer in a keg before serving, as you would in a bottle by putting sugar in in it...

Welcome! I am new to home brewing and this site too.

Thanks, You too. Hope to see you on Tuesday!

Yep, thats all true what you say about the places above. And for my question about prices I ment in the store over all not necessarily for the coopers cans. Thanks for all your info. I will have to come and see you on Tuesday afternoon. What time do you start?

When kegging do you prime it like bottles and let it sit for a while, just on a bigger scale?

How much flavoring did you add and at what point in the process?

I would have been there yesterday if you guys were open. I have been hearing good things about it. I can't wait to check it out. The only thing I need to start the first batch is a can of coopers with the pre-hopped malt extract and yeast. How are the prices in the St. Charles store?

thanks Vic!

Newb question: What is the purpose of primary and secondary brewing? What do you have to do when you witch it(beside rack it, ie: do yo need to add anything)?
