He also mentioned that doing it when cool outside is key to get the right microbes.
Yeah, some sort of heating pad would be a good idea, it cool super quickly.

Costco Peterborough had their Brewhouse Lager kits on sale for $19.97. Acceptable beer and the price was right. Bought 5. They have none left and don't plan on getting any more in. They said they couldn't move them fast enough at $38.

atomeyes, Heym I know what your are thinking. It's beer but that is it. It would of been a better beer if they added hallertauer instead of centennial hops.
