Ok, made it through about 25 pages and skipped to the end of the thread so I apologize if this has been answered. I got a Mr. Beer kit for my birthday from my Mom at a garage sale. Had most of the stuff, but after reading a little online I decided to go get some fresh yeast and some corn sugar...
I'm in Olathe and new to this brewing thing, too. Have made a couple of batches with my neighbor starting two weeks ago. Looking forward to trying the first batch in another week or so.
