Yeah I noticed that shortly later. Like I had posted; I read about 90% (starting from the beginning and going forward). So, by the time I had posted, I wasn't to some of that part. I am taking baby steps, because that is how I learn this stuff. I try not to get too far ahead before plunging...

Wow! Thank you AJF. Step-by-step. I can follow that! I will be printing all this out before heading to the LHBS. Lots of great info!

Awesome! Thank you very much. You've been more than extremely helpful and I appreciate that. After everything I've read (so far) it looks like I plan on going with the Dry Extracts because it appears that they last longer if you have to store them.

Okay. Thank you very much. This is what I was looking for!! That "baby step forward". It's something that gets me closer to full fledged brewing. One last question; for my next batch I want to do a Stout (Guiness fan). Do you think that is too advanced for a Level 1 Padawan?

I aplgze for my ignorance. I have nothing against a "bottling bucket" and thought they were the same thing. I will do more research. From what I gather; I take the sugar solution (I can easily calculate that) and dilute it into boiling water. Then pour that into a BBucket. I then have to be...

Yooperbrew - one last thing; what brand of bottle capper do you have? If I see it at the LHBS tomorrow, I will be sure to be aware of that dilemma.

Thanks and thanks. Okay. Ex-nay the ecks-Bay. Are there any other brands that will work better? I just picked them because I have them and didn't want to waste the bottles. Alright; so YES to picking up a secondary cooler thingy, toobing, and all that? (Should funds be available; *prays to...

Thanks for a quick reply. Well, Mr. beer is what I call the "fisher price" of home brewing. Cheap plastic thingy and you follow directions. It didn't come with the bottles but I have no problem emptying the Becks in my fridge (I know, green bottles vs brown bottles). I'm a little...

Second post, so be gentle... I got a Mr. Beer and read through 90% of the Mr. Beer thread. So I might be jumping the gun, but so far I haven't found an answer that is suitable. I'd like to take a Baby step up from ordering Mr. Beer kits. However, I don't have the $$ resources to go full...

Okay. I read through the first 12 threads and decided I should post. I got MrBeer for an early bday present from the wife. She was tired of me talking about homebrewing and broke down and spent the $30. I was excited to get the Pale ale. Got home, and found out I got the Canadian Ale...
