A 4 gallon pot from Walmart and a starter kit from More Beer. I highly recommend that you get a starter kit from a good brew supplier, either online or locally. Oh, start with a beer kit. The kits usually come with a great one page set of instructions too. I started with a recipe and...

Thanks for the thorough, yet simple response AiredAle. I am an English teacher so if ya gave me all of the fancy mach equations I would have little clue on how to follow them.

Thanks for the info Yooper Chick. (AND thanks for the pix of your cooler lid. Copying is the sincerest form of flattery.) :D

I'm fermenting in an old Igloo Cube (I remade a new lid). Yet I'm not sure what temperature to keep the water. It's at about 62 right now. I know that the temperature of the future beer can be fermenting 8-10 degrees above the actual water soooooooooooo... Does this mean that 62 degree...

DOH!!! I have some HP Premier program that came with my printer. Thanks for telling me what program to look for. Didn't know that I had one. ;) (Now I need to work on my pixels.)

SWMBO was getting her hair done today so I got a brew day yesterday in order to watch the 3 week old. Fair trade off!!!

Had a change of heart where the hops were concerned. Here was the final recipe: 3lbs LME 3lbs DME 1lb Crystal Malt 40 8oz Carapils 5oz Chocolate Malt .75oz Magnum 13.1% @ 60 minutes 1.75oz Williamette 4.5% @ 10 minutes Whirlflock Tablet @ 10 minutes White Labs California Ale Yeast...

My Brown is bubbling away famously. Thanks for the yeast advice everyone.

I need to be able to post some of my pix when I discuss just what I am doing. How do I resize them????

Amped up my starter to about a quart and a half and 3/4 cup of DME. It was pitched today. Looks good so far.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm... I thought that something like that might work.

There goes an hour!!! Thanks this is fun!!! Only level 2:mad:

Can't say I've been there yet. Had the ears and the tongue. (The tongue tongs hurt the most.) Never the nipples!!! Nor the John Thomas for that matter. ALL piercings are out at the time being. I don't need my 3 week old getting a hold and pulling a ring through my lobe.

It has a few breaths of life left within it. But how about hockey?

I know your pain. I have 4 kids; one being a mere 3 weeks old. Tomorrow all but the wee one will be gone. I shall brew!!! Just think how great that beer will taste though.

We just finished the apple juice today. I'll clean it and add some water and see what goes? Thanks, Craig

I only had about maybe a quarter on an inch of krausen on the top. It was foamy and off-white and smelled GREAT. Will this be enough for a 5 gallon brew? It's starting to sink back down into the psuedo-beer that it was raised in. Should I raise it again? Here was my recipe: Boil 2 C...

WOW!!! That's a sure way to kill a buzz. OMFG!!!

You are a VERY patient man!!!
