they do... but i dont need keg quantities...

....long term? I'm thinking more than a week here. We're a big fan of build-a-sixers, so variety is key - and a couple of these could last maybe around a month...?

Long story short... local brew-pub has a pomegranate beer that the fiance loves ( and ill admit, is good) and since they only have it for a short time - can you bottle it from a growler to preserve some longevity ( standard 2-3months or so ) instead of ~ week from the growler, or would it be...

instead of using table sugar with Mr. Beer as instructed, can I use corn sugar without any adjustments. Would it be better? or just follow the instructions...?

Lakefront Brewery Holiday Spice - Didn't like the first bottle, googled reviews, realized was 10-11% ABV, did like second bottle realizing ABV... lol :D

I started fermenting it on 10/23 - think I should bottle it soon? It's pretty clear, and barely bubbling. Not enough to hit the airlock, just slight bubbles in the 5gal jug.

You mean too late? then I can just let it condition, right? :) Thats what I was afraid of - bottle bombs... lol. I've read a couple fun stories on those...

Thats my plan as long as it works - I just want to make sure I dont bottle it too early. This is my first brew.

I only have a primary, nothing else :) I'm doing this the budget way. From what I was reading, I can still keep it in the primary for a couple months then bottle? literally, I have a primary and a bunch of used / cleaned bottles. I'll get caps & a capper once this is good to go... budget...

I'm fermenting some apfelwein right now. I only have a carboy and airlock - i dont have the meter for gravity. The airlock has just about stopped bubbling, but i still see bubbles coming up in the carboy. I know I can let it sit for quite a while - i was planning on a week or two more...

it's a hoff-stevens. They used to stick a big rod in the bung hole to fill those up. Then they'd use a mallet, called the bung-wacker to knock a wooden bung into the bung-hole. The liquid would help the wood swell & seal it. My local micro-brewery just stopped using those a few years...

I'm making a batch with cider. I checked with the orchard, they werent going to use sorbate until the next batch of cider they were making... It's fermenting now.

I get nitrogen tanks for stock car racing at AIRGAS - They wont even let me pick them up in anything other than my truck. They even had a fit that I had a tonneau on the truck in the summer - and as someone else posted, I had to load them in my truck myself... this is the big tall tanks. I...

I hadn't seen that video till now ( was posting via moble device ) - I was going off the instructions link i posted earlier. Spare me, I'm new.. lol I'm only discouraged I cant make the specific beer I wanted - that one sounds delish, and similar to one I tried at a beer fest over the weekend...

I am... Anything I can buy off Amazon, I don't pay for. Work does. That's why I would rather buy off Amazon for as much as I can... I only pay a couple dollars in regards to taxable income/rewards.

As to the thermometer - I have a meat thermometer that should work...

I was looking & linking to the 5gal ingredient kit. They have 1gal & 5gal complete equipment & ingredient kits - and also ingredient kits for those who have equip. Basically, I want to get my own equipment, not the glass carboys that come in the complete kit..

Is there a website that you would reccomend with brew/flavor lists if this one is too rough for a newb?

Yeah, But I tried to match that kit with Amazon (because work gives me amazon gift cards all the time) - so that they can "pay" for it and not have it come out of my back pocket. However, Lizard makes it sound like the kit I'm looking at wont work? (whats different between the amazon kit and...

Damn, Really? Their 5-gallon kit doesnt seem much different than the one I'm looking at on amazon.. "5 Gallon Glass Carboy, 6.5 Gallon Bucket w/ Spigot, Sparging Bag, Carboy Bung, Airlock, Auto-Siphon, 5/16” Tubing & 1” Blowoff Tube, Tube Clamp, Thermometer, Hydrometer, Starsan...
