Awesome! We will, of course, expect a complete report, Mammy... I currently use PETs, so probably not an option for me at this point. Neat little gadget, though- I never would have thought of that!

Bottling and Priming

I frequently bottle with the 20oz Pepsi bottles. Using the Mr. Beer measuring device I fill the 3/4 tsp side and then guesstimate by filling it about half. So in total I'm probably a little under the 1.5 tsp mark but I've never had a flat 20 ouncer.

I agree with what's been stated above. My Aussie Ale is a big beer at 7.9% abv and after 2 weeks cold conditioning it tastes very "green" but I expect goods things in another week or two (or three). My "Wheaties" beer which is a l

That's what my setup is now. Been fermenting in corneys for quite some time. Although if you are planning on fermenting full 5 gallon batches, it's not ideal. I've found that fermenting 3.5-3.7 gallon batches is perfect for the geometry of the keg

All adjuncts have their place. When brewing with extracts you have to rely on adjuncts to accomplish things like drying out a beer or thinning it down a bit where when brewing all grain these things can be accomplished in different ways. It just re

My initial run is going to use a small ammount of bacon grease mixed in during boiling. It will be from a low sodium bacon so it doesnt just taste like salt. I will also be making bacon extract from the cooked bacon to use in the future to get the fl

Well, I had to kick the keg of my pale ale before I could hook this up (though I did most of that yesterday), so I didn't have *too* much of this. Plus, it still needs a tiny bit more carbonation. Also, I don't know what the caffeine levels are, so
