Alright.. I am taking the plunge! Ordered a burner and a pot... been reading online here and Stephen Snyder's The Brew-Master's Bible and Charlie Papazian's The Joy of Homebrewing.
I am wanting to do a full boil extract with some grains and don't have anyplace to ferment except a cool closet that stays about 70-72F. I really miss some of the ALT bier's and Kolsch Bier's from my time in Germany. I have seen a few extract recipe's that don't require lagering and actually call for these temps. So I should be fine with these temps... :rockin:
I need to decide and go shopping... But since it'll be my first, I would like a little help from some of you folks who may have done one or more of these beers and the typical pitfalls of newbie brewers... Any input or suggestions?:fro:
Thanks Fellas
