Hey guys! Just wanted to introduce myself since I have been lurking for quite some time now! I have been wanting to get into the brewing hobby for probably about a year now, but I could never afford the initial price. Well, let's step back, I could have afforded it, but I am also an avid fisherman, and spend WAY to much on rods, reels, gas, and lures, so brewing was never in the forefront. Anyway, knowing that I have wanted to get into it, my brother bought me a starter kit this year from Midwest supplies, along with a bunch of other stuff to get started.
The only thing he did not purchase was a pot/kettle, so I awaiting the 6 gallon order from amazon. As soon as that comes in, I am going to attempt to brew the extract kit he bought as well called "Rocky Pale Ale (supposedly like Stone Pale Ale)." I am really excited to get this going, and also really fortunate that my brother purchased, as the 2-3 hundred in supplies he spent, I would have easily put aside and purchase another rod instead as I have been doing for the past year!
Fishing is my real passion, but look forward to picking up homebrewing for the days I cannot spend on the water! Now I just need to find some time to fit a job in... How do ya'll do that?
