Hmm i saw the book on amazon and it seemed like a big reference guide for water ph levels in different cities grain types and other confusing things that i don't feel ready to tackle yet. But if you really think so.. i'm going to check out the how to brew online deally first though.
Alright i'm not really all that interested in kegging beer at this stage in the game. And honestly i think i'd rather stick to those kits they got at the home brew store with the instructions for awhile. Instructions are my friend especially with something that gets this complicated.
Definitely going to look into the "keggle" later. Sounds like a neat method. Oh yeah you said there were like 3 different methods, Mr. B, Bucket, Carboy, and sometimes a keg. I've been to the Budweiser factory a few times... probably under 20.. Anyway they have these giant fermenter's with wood chips in them. What would you call those?
Thanks guys you've been extremely helpful.
Oh and Frankfurtvr4 congratulations on making beer! there's a lot of things that can go wrong but the beer can turn out amazing if you get it right.
EDIT:
Dad wants to borrow my Mr. Beer kits and make something, seems like we're going to use it for awhile so any ideas on a different sanitizer, like starsan or something? and a better yeast to use in the beer? Might as well get prepared for the long haul i don't think i'm going to stop any time soon.
Anyway, off to go get some bleach the swamp cooler water is starting to bug me.... OK Got the bleach and threw it in.. Do i need to rinse everything a million times when i'm done now? with the bleach and all.
