whats the secret? i have 8 or 9 wine bottles saved up ready to start brewing... not really sure where to go from here though
I've been brewing for several years now. Never had any luck with the Mr Beer kits, but the 5 gallon setups have never failed me. I will do the first fermentation in the 6 gallon bucket, then transfer it into a glass carboy. I keep a towel wrapped around the carboy to keep the light off of it. wait until everything settles, and beer looks clear, then transfer to my bottling bucket. I would keg the beer, but my refridgerator is not condusive to drilling for a tap. (I have one of the commercial fridges with the glass doors) Kick ass, by the way!
Don't eat yellow snow, don't drink yellow beer.
If you get around Lawrenceburg, stop by and we'll toss a few back.
Beer is a lot harder so it's easy to not be motivated to keep it up.
Keeping your equipment clean is probably the biggest reason beers fail. make sure that you use sanitizer on all of your bottles, mixing spoons, buckets, etc...
