I posted last week when I ordered my gear. I basically have a deluxe home brew kit from northern brewers (2 glass carboys), wort chiller and a 8gal kettle for a full boil setup. Plus some extra stuff...
I've read everything I think I could have read at least twice and have been reading on this forum for a while. I'm pretty confident but we shall see. I will be doing a Irish red ale for my first. It's an extract kit with 2 hop additions. I'll be using Nottingham freeze dried yeast for it. After that it's white labs liquid yeast all the way. I want away from this dried yeast!
I'm going to order a stir starter, flask and DME tomorrow to make my yeast starters with from now on, and some mason jars to start washing my yeast. Yeah! Then I should be good for a while.
I'll keep you posted on how it goes.
