Oh man, I totally forgot I'm going to be making a batch of home brew!

I am interested to find out it it's drinkable.
I am trusting you not to lie and claim it's great if it's not, here.

Nah,
I looked into it this weekend, looks pretty easy, although bottling looks like a pain.
I'm planning to do everything the "wrong way" because I want it to taste like generic premium lager from pubs which according to home brewers is "PISS WATER FOR IDIOTS"

My friend has been doing this recently
He spent over three hours bottling the other night.
I am doing my bit by drinking lots and saving my bottles for him.

The other option is to put it in a pressure keg
but my fridge really isn't big enough for it, and I'd have to get another beer fridge.

Does it need to go in a fridge?

The CO2 absorbs into the beer better if it's cold.
so not technically, but I prefer cold beer.

Good call.
A tip from my brother's brewing days is NOT to double the sugar in the hope of creating Special Brew. The lids explode and you get in terrible trouble with your parents over the mess.

Ok, I'll put that on the list.
