Hello from New Jersey.
I've been lurking here for a while. My kids got me a Mr. Beer for Christmas and I caught the bug. I picked up an extra MB fermenter on eBay and have made 9 batches (although still conditioning most of it.) But from what I've been reading here, that's not really making beer. I have so much to learn. To make the next step, below is the order I just placed with Austin Homebrew Supply. I didn't like the idea of fermenting in a plastic bucket, so went with the 6.5 gallon carboy. To get started the order also included a couple of canned beer kits. So, the question is, what will I be wishing I had when I begin?
6.5 Gallon Glass Carboy
Handle Option for 6.5 Gallon
6.5 Gallon Carboy Screw Cap
Airlock & Universal Drilled Bung
5 Gallon Glass Carboy
Handle Option for 5 Gallon
Airlock & Universal Drilled Bung
One Step Sanitizer
Carboy Dryer
Deluxe Siphon Kit
Plastic Racking Cane 3/8" (24" Long)
Bucket Clip
Plastic Paddle (24 inch)
Carboy Brush
Nylon Hose Brush (3/8")
Funnel (12 inch)
Funnel Strainer (for 12 inch)
(Can't beat the $5.99 shipping at Austin)
