Default Re: My first attempt at home brewing

Yes. You really should use glass bottles as suggested by the other poster. Just save all your non-twist-off bottles. A hand bottler is <$10. Also, the way to get clearer beer is to siphon all but the bottom inch or so into a new container halfway through the fermentation. At the end of fermentation, siphin it into the bottles and leave another inch in the bottom. That's where all the sediment is. And always make sure you never shake it up or stir that stuff around.

This is the bible of homebrewing. Get a copy.
