I would *love* to see a huge dumping of snow before the end of March...but long term forecasts (more than 10-14 days out) are pretty unpredictable...there's just too much that could change too quickly as far as the weather's concerned.

Small world, I also live in Hendersonville but have the commute to Brentwood every day. In fact RebelBrewer is the shop I was speaking of earlier. Not sure if I'll ever really get into this, but always wanted to try and came across a cheap Mr. Beer

Making Wort and Ingredients

Those MB stats are just approximations based on a perfect world. They are a bit generous as well, just like the recomended carbonation levels. When using MB my OG's were always off, especially when adding booster, honey and other sugars.

The Cinco recipe was one of my first and favorite MB recipes. It or most extract recipes will not be as clear as commercial beers, and this will even be darker than Corona by far. Giving it a good month in the fridge will help it clear considerably a

$20 for a 20lb tank is an amazing deal! I just purchased a 10lb for $25 and thought that "I" got a steal. I would definately check craislist and eBay. They both have kegerator parts quite for quite cheap.

Yeast and Fermentation

Yep, some trub is inevitable but the bottling bucket cuts it down. I let the first ounce or two flow into an old milk jug before I put the tube into the bottling bucket, which is just another LBK that has the Mr. Beer spigot and bottling wand.

2 weeks in the keg, 3 weeks in the bottle, another 2 weeks in the fridge. in my experience, without giving the flavors enough time to meld (MB recipe only), it kinda tastes like a wine cooler. so patience is key on flavored wheats IMO. straight he

The irc channel seems not to have worked so well...I have yet to see anyone else on there. In that regard, it's a lot like the old chatroom was. That place was pretty empty unless someone called out a chat event in a post, or in the shoutbox.

I do all my stuff down in the basement as well, and it can be a bit cold down there. I ended up putting a space heater down there to help with the temperature. I guess the good thing about living in military housing for me is I don't have to worry a
