Dump a gallon of vodka in before bottling.

http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/digitalphotography/f/sideways-pictures.htm explains what's going on with the pictures. If you open them in an image editor (GIMP is free but complicated) you can save them rotated.

What are the dimensions of the 1/2 keg?

I'd personally look at small freezers; with a controller they end up being as efficient (and a chest freezer more so) and are bigger. I just got a giant one for $75 on Craigslist.

If you want to do this, why not use stainless steel growlers?

I stopped shaving for November, and my first batch was brewed on Nov 17th. Coincidence? I think not.

Bottle it. Worst case you're out some sanitizer for the bottles. Best case, you have the best story.

If he wants to save $20, not supporting a certain forum that doesn't agree with him anyway would save more.

Plastic is not impervious to oxygen, so eventually oxygen will get in.

1) Depends on the recipe. 2) You put it in a bottling bucket first, leaves behind junk in the fermenter and makes life easier (See the sticky here: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f35/bottling-tips-homebrewer-94812/ ) 3) The speed of the yeast can vary. Leave it 3 weeks, or if you want to get...

He's hoping to take the $20 out of NB in some other way. But this only makes me want to order FROM them.

Send me free stuff and you'll have me as a customer until I find some other place to get free stuff. A customer is only worth $20 if you make $20 off them. If you only make $19, you've lost money if you spent $20 to get them. And we all know a customer like this will be back the moment they...

Do you call and demand shipping refunds when future advertisements offer free shipping? I can understand asking, but getting angry when they say no says more about you than about NB.

The one I linked has a windscreen built into it.

I don't know. I got one boil at least out of a tank so far. From 160 mini-mash to a full boil was ten minutes or less; I'd have to check my notes which are not here. Definitely a huge improvement over the stove; and I don't feel bad about this burner because if I move up to bigger things I can...

White Labs has a kit, but it'll cost you. http://www.whitelabs.com/lab/alcoholtestkit.html

I got one of these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000291GBQ/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 It boiled fast and was cheap (mine was $33.44 from Amazon Warehouse).

I just ordered four of them; at those prices it'll be worth a try!

Since I've yet to take a reading with my hydrometer (I'm too scared to touch the beer) I am waiting three weeks before bottling the first beer.
