Being a new brewer is exciting. You open the box, and there’s this fermenter, and cans of extract, and instructions, and you can make beer! I got my start with a Mr. Beer kit my wife got me for Christmas. I was as excited as a ten-year-old getting a puppy, and I couldn’t wait to brew my first batch. I would have creative control of the beer I drank. There were so many possibilities now; so much potential for creating custom beers right in my own kitchen.

Wow. The starter kits have gotten a lot more expensive. I guess the fermenter by itself isn't too bad (at least not at Mr beer), but i may wait until i can get to Walmart and look for 3 (or so) gallon bucket. At least I'm in good shape on yeast. I found a bunch […]
