I wouldn't attempt to have more than one batch going until you have 2 or 3 under your belt and understand the process well.

There is always the Steam beer alternative, lager yeast at ale temps, as well. |

I would be more in agreement with this. 1 week in primary is just not enough time to let the yeast do there full job.

No oxidation, easier to keep sanitary. Plastic scratches pretty easily, and those scratches are when bugs and mold and stuff can dig in an live. You're not going to have that problem with a glass carboy.

I have to admit I haven’t brewed in years, mostly because my free time has been spent on my Jeep, but this topic has inspired me to dust off my brew gear and brew up a batch.
Since Mrs. Radar’s English pen pal is coming back this year and he kept raving about “bitters” but we couldn’t find a comparable microbrew, I’m going to brew a batch of it. I figure if I get after it now I should be able to have it ready by the time he gets here in June.

Sure. He came and spent two weeks with us last year. Had a blast too.

First batch is in the fermenting bucket in the basement. Airlock is bubbling and temp. is around 63. In about a month, I should have a brown ale to drink.

Last night, the temp was getting low (around 60F). So I put a couple towels and a strand of Christmas lights around the bucket. Temp this morning was about 68F.
