I am very interested in trying some steeping, and adding additional flavor to the beer that this kit produces. I saw a "Muslin"??? bag at the store and think thats what I would use. A little walk through would be cool man! I will follow your advise for this batch and look forward to getting more involved.
I noticed from what I read, that I don't have much control like you say. I don't like that... So I will be stepping up to some more equipment for sure.
Love the stooges pic! :lol:

Yep a Muslin back is what you would use if you dont want to go the ghetto pantie hoes way (id reccomend the mulsin)..
what kits do you have left? (flavors)
The RED would be the best to add flavor to....

I have a can (HME) of Golden Lager, Red Ale and Amber Ale.
A little confused about the Lager. I understand it's different and needs to be cold conditioned?

The Yeast likes to work at colder temp's.. (Mid to high 40's)... where ALE yeast likes to work at warmer temps... (50's-70's depending on strain)
thats what they mean by Cold conditioned..

Ok, I see.
Now, do you prefer to use a liquid yeast or dry strain? Is either better for an Ale vs a Lager? Or does it not really matter, and either can be used either way?
