I wouldn't put more than one or two beers in. Eight days might be enough, especially if the final ABV was fairly low. It can be awfully hard to be patient though.

Reuben commented on Reuben's group 'NOOBrewers'

Quick question for anyone checking this group: My first brew was bottled on Saturday morning and is in a cool, dry place for now. I expect to place in a fridge around Sunday. Is this good and what should I expect to see in the bottles over the nex...

Shawn, the Beer Philosopher replied to Reuben's discussion 'The Best Homebrew Reference Materials for Beginners' in the group NOOBrewers

The homebrewer's "bible" is, and likely always will be, Charlie Papazian's "Complete Joy of Homebrewing." It's a thick tome of information, but I think Charlie has a knack for writing at a very accessible level. The book is also divided into begin...

The Best Homebrew Reference Materials for Beginners

Dundee Beer - Assortment Pack

I am always skeptical of inexpensive 12-packs and even more so about "assortment" packs. I was at my local market (Market Street in N. Dallas) and have seen the Dundee pack for some time, but I typically skip it for a trusted IPA or amber ale.

Today, I picked up the pack because I have some inexperienced beer drinkers coming over tomorrow and I was not about to buy a conventional 12 or 24-pack of American beer (Why, oh why, can't they sell a suitcase of Bridgeport IPA!). Still, I wanted somethi… Continue
