Ok so i got my first batch of beer ever bottled. I tasted it and it taste like flat beer which from what i read is a good sign. Its a Mr. Beer kit so im not expecting the world...Im spoiled cuz I live in oregon and we have some of the best commercial beers in the world, so I cant expect the world with this mr. beer kit but im sure ill still be satisfied.
Ive talked to a guy who has some old equipment he is gonna sell me for $50 bucks which with everything im getting is a damn good deal. Hes gonna give me a 15 gal. boil pot, a 10 gal. mash/lauter tun, hydrometer, couple utility buckets, bottle capper, large SS spoon (not sure what ss means im sure someone call tell me ), and a few minor items for kegging.
Thinking about it though I dont think it has a fermenter so im gonna need to buy one. Im not a big enviroment freak or anything but im wondering if someone call fill me in with some information. Im wondering if using plastic bucket fermenters is safe from all the harmful toxins in the plastic. Ive read about those BetterBuckets but they seem hard to find with the good setups due to the company only selling to stores. What does everybody think about this? I know it sounds like im being over paranoid but i figure it doesnt hurt to ask cuz im sure someone will have an answer.
Im gonna post some pics of the beer in the bottles as soon as i turn my phone back on. Just put a ZAGG screen cover on my LG DARE to keep it from scratching and just waiting for it to dry.
