Id have to agree with strangebrew...I tried the sugar in the bottle once and will never do it again. Nothing like hearing explosions comming from the basement in the middle of the night.

I was lucky enough to get a used tall dorm fridge from a family member and have a question on its conversion. I have already removed all the shelves but now am wondering about the cooling tray at the top (where the ice cube tray would sit). The keg squeezes in but when I hook up the gas lines its to...

I just brewed my first lager yesterday and used California Lager Wyeast. The question is whether I was supposed to put the primary in the fridge at the get go or should I wait and let it ferment at a warmer temp for a week. The temp in the fridge is mid to high 50's. Any advice would be appreciated.
