I recently started enjoying Craft beers. I also tasted my buddies IPA home brew, which inspired me to try home brewing.
I can understand the sanitation and everything about BEFORE brewing. But terminology is what kills me. Strike temp? Pitching? (I think I understand that one). The others I can understand the concept, but I just want to know exactly where to start, where I should look. etc.
Questions:
1. What do I need to start brewing? Recommend a website where I can get a starter kit for a good price?
2. Should I start with a kit?
3. How do I become patient with the fermentation process?
4. How long does it take to do the initial brew before fermentation? Does it depend on the instructions?
I obviously don't want to bite off more than I can chew here, so any help/tips are appreciated.
