Hello out there, i'm new to the site. And i would like to say that i have never brewed a beer before in my life. I signed up here cause i respect what you all do and i love beer, and plus i know how much of a pain it is to run a website with no money coming in. Anyway now that i have got that out, let me go on with the reason i am here.
My father, is a pretty active home brewer, he has been doing it as far as i can remember. And as of lately he has been laid off with the economy the way it is right now, And since my Dads, Moms and I's birthday all happen to fall into the month of march, i figured I would build my dad a home brewery, and it would be something we could all enjoy. And seems how i think he has had the same "Home Brewing equipment" since i was born oh 27 years ago, this would be perfect.
I've looked into the Deluxe kits etc from various websites, but i am the type of person that likes to get hands on, and put my heart into it, and i think he would enjoy it more, then me just buying a kit and saying happy birthday!
Only one thing is holding me back, i dont know much about all of this, i have been reading alot, and looking at alot of systems, and looking at diagrams.. and i think i want to build a smaller version of something like this Phils HERMS Brewery altho i dont know exactly what i need to be purchasing, And i was wondering if any of you lads out there may be able to help me out on what to buy or some type of plans/diagrams.
Thank you all in advance
Joshua
