I am very tempted to *start* brewing... and do so with 3-gallon batch sizes
However, I am puzzled by the ingredients shopping/storing:
-- should I buy (small) bulk amounts, as opposed to pre-kitted sets, so I can measure as needed for 3-gal ?
-- What about storage issues with the now opened bulk ingredients packaging?
Note that I did read up here about 3 gal. batch issues, and the common remark by some to stick with the 5 gal. batch size, but I do not see myself drink that much, overall, and would rather have, say, 3 styles going in house...
