Lol, yeah want to have all the right equipment to brew this successfully as well as make the process easier.

Damn, looks like I need to spend some more money before I'm ready to brew a lager

Kind of, I know I need cooler temperatures, but I'm in South Texas so it's 45 degrees one day and 70 the next. I've been brewing ales cause they don't require as cool of temps. So I don't really have the set up for lagers.

Munich.

Any tips on brewing a dunkel beer?

10-4!

Ok, that's what I use. Just checking to see if there was anything else.

What I mean is what do you use to get the beer out of the fermenter to put into the hydrometer?

What's the best tool to use to take hydrometer readings?

So is there such a thing as waiting too long? I mean I know some beers are better the longer you keep them bottled, but can some go bad?

So I have a brown ale that I bottled 2 days ago. The only way to check if it's ready is to open a bottle and try it?

Nice, I really appreciate everything.

I have a long way to go. How and where do you learn all this stuff?

Ahh, didn't know that.

So I guess an even dumber question, what's the difference in conditioning and carbonating?

Thank you all for the advice. I am new to brewing so I have a lot to learn.

How long does it really take for beer to carbonate? Do I have to open one up to check it? My recipe says a min. of 15 days, but 4 to 8 weeks is ideal. Can you help me out?
