At this very moment, I have read most of Home Brewing for Dummies, and I went down to my local Home Brew Supply Shop - Old West Homebrew Supply - and bought their basic home brew kit, as well as their "Whitewater Wit" ingredient kit (50% off with the brew kit). I'm thinking I will probably go back and get another 6 Gal. Carboy to use as my primary fermenter - rather than the 7.6 Gal. Food-grade plastic bucket the kit came with. No offense to food grade plastic...but I just feel like glass is better (please feel free to share your insights)! Now, for the time being, that's where I'm going to be - I'm moving in, oh, 24-hours and once I'm established in my new location my first batch of beer is priority #1! And a post will be soon to follow! In the mean time, I'll probably be reading The Complete Joy of Homebrewing which was also included in Old West's awesome equipment kit! And if you're looking for something to do while you wait for an update, consider checking out my good friend's blog about Wine Making, here at Zschoche Cellars!
Please feel free to send in some questions, leave encouraging comments, or hey, even send in some suggestions or requests for my next batch of beer!
