I tried to get a couple questions answered but my orginal questions haven't been posted yet. So I punted. I used 2 cups of sugar and about a 1/4 of corn syrup. Its day one and we be frementing like mad baby!
I am letting my first two sit until next tuesday a full six days then to the fridge for 2 1/2 days to clarify NEXT friday will be taste test night.

I really want to try beer next I hope I can find a decent one gallon Lager recipe (my hubby likes Natural Ice would like a duplicate). A qestion with a lager yeast am I able to ferment in the fridge? With it being august it isn't cool enogh to let it sit out and will the time be as long with an EZ cap?

A properly working fridge is going to be too cold to ferment anything. For your first brewing ventures don't try anything too exotic. Make a basic beer recipe first, then start worrying about tweaks. Also, buying Natural Ice off the shelf will be substantially cheaper than purchasing the ingredients to make a clone of it.

Thank you I understand more now hours worth of reading. I am thinking an Ale would be easiest for now.. maybe go a little crazy the next couple of batches. Thank you for your input..
