Long-time Drinker, First-time Brewer, Nice To Be Here

Hey Guys/Gals, Im JayBeer, Been enjoying beer, from swill, to craft beers for some time.

Started drinking poorman's black velvets, and realized how much I like ciders!

I just started a one gallon batch of Hard Apple Cider (first homebrew ever), and will be soaking up all the info I can get.

Thanx.

In the same boat. Been studying this for 15+ years and never made the leap until my wife gave me Mr. Beer for my 40th. Made it, drank it, went to my local shop and bought a start up kit. Enjoying a bottle (or 6!) from my first batch now, brewed my second batch yesterday!

nice! plan on getting a mr beer too, tryn cider first.

Hey guys! Same here. Have recently gotten into the local beer scene. I'm COMPLETELY clueless as to where to start. Should I get a kit? If so.. What kind? I'm looking to spend about 50$ ... Unless you all advise against it. What should step 1 be?

If you wanna spend fifty bucks, you could get a good mr beer kit from amazon.

I started with cider, its easy, and it was recommended to me as a first try brew. I spent all of 10 bucks on a gallon of AJ that came in a glass jug, which i am fermenting in, a bung, an airlock, champange yeast, and I had suger at home...

So fifty could get you some where. PPl talk jazz about Mr. Beer kits, but i plan on getting one, look at the mr beer sticky, there is a lot of good talk about how its great for getting an easy start.
