Hey Van, got any details on the kit you're using? I had a friend in college that brewed his own, but he basically used a bunch of homemade looking stuff and it all seemed complicated. You've got what looks like a pretty complete starter kit there, right down to the bottle caps!

How much space is that rig going to take up while it's in use?

My brother and his friends does some of this. Many use Champagne bottles over beer bottles because they are much stronger under pressure.

oh I will, Its almost done with its fermentation. Its clearing up a bit and the yeast aren't so active anymore. I'm gonna bottle it friday, and start a new batch. It should be good to go in a couple of weeks!

Its a steam beer, "The only American Native beer style", well up to 1991 anyway.
Its a half lager, half ale. Originated in SF in the 19th century.Made with ale ingredients and using a lager yeast to ferment. I read that Anchor Steam Brewery has the term "Steam Beer" copyrighted so no one else can sell "Steam Beer" .
And its fermenting in a carlady if you like that better Johnny

I was thinking Benderbrau if it's an ale, Botweiser if it's a lager

I feel really motivated now to try to make my own beer now... Maybe when I have 100 bucks to spend.

sierra ale sucked, I'm drinking my first belgium red tonight= delicious
I will post a pic of it in a glass tomorrow if I remember.
I just counted my stock in my closet...47 bottles of belium red, 48 bottles of nut brown ale(newcastle knock off), 5 gallons ready for bottling= english pale ale(Bass clone).
I don't think I'll have any trouble getting my friends to come over and help with anything
