even worse than that...why would you eat microwaved popcorn? it's just as easy, healthier, and tastes much better to do kettle popped popcorn.

what the hell is wrong with you, dude?

EDIT: here's what you do:

1. get a pot like this. a nice, tall pot with a glass lid, because its fun to watch them pop.
   
   
2. get some popcorn kernels (i like the popsecret brand, myself).
   
   
3. fill the bottom with however much popcorn you want.
   
   
4. take canola oil and pour onto the popcorn. enough to half coat all the kernels.
   
   
5. turn on heat. pop corn.
   
   
6. when popping slows to 3-4 seconds a pop, turn off heat.
   
   
7. open lid.
   
   
8. here's the trick: two pinches of salt for every pinch of sugar sprinkled on the popcorn.
   
   
9. shake pot with popcorn like a polaroid picture without spilling all over the place.
   

I'd like to do 5 gallon batches. I don't think the quantity from the Mr Beer keg is worth it.

How's this look? Total is around $80.

Fermentation bucket

Bung/airlock

Stock pot

Autosiphon

Star San or Idophor (What's the difference?)

Is there any advantage to having a carboy as well? How long would I leave the beer in the fermentation bucket?

So if I wanted to do sours, I'd basically have to get 2 of everything?

Edit - actually, wouldn't this kit be about the same, but with an extra bucket but no stock pot?

Edit 2 - another pot, 36qt is good price, leaving this here so I can find it again.

I just used my stove and bout a 16qt Pot from Amazon. Worked perfect. You could even get fancy and drill a hole and put a valve in and it could be gravity fed too. It was $35!!!

I have also cold sparked for the first time and had no issues. Was a 9-11lbs of grain.
