Karen (and other beginners), 

There is an excellent homepage set up by ericg@indiana.edu (still on 
the list Eric?). Check out URL 

   http://www.astro.indiana.edu/personnel/ericg/ferment.html 

You'll find everything you need to know about getting started, 
equipment on a budget, yeasts, sugars, etc. 

Cheers,

If you are looking for a warm place to get a bit of fermentation, try putting 
the bottles on top of the fridge.  This is often the warmest place in the 
house; I know my cats spend most of their time there, and cats are useful 
heat-seeking tools.
