Hope Im not asking any obvious and/or repeated question's again
Ive been looking at getting started at beer making and in particular looking at the kit's available.
Ive found a few which have the ingredient's listed but most of then seem to just have LME listed (with yeat etc) but nothing in the way of Hops. one even claimed to have "simple no boil instructions"
Now don't get me wrong I want my first beer to be pretty simple but just dumping a load of ingredients in a big pot and leaving it a while sounds far too simple. Even making a cup of tea is more complicated then that
I don't want to over complicate things but I do want to LEARN something and hopefully get to the point where I can concoct my own beer's perhaps even eventually go onto AG brewing.
Is there anything wrong with these kit's ?
Is This pretty standard?
Will the brew come out tasting good (provided I do it right)
If the answer is "NO" to 2/3 of the above - What else is there ?
Who makes a good kit?
Should I just try to follow a recipe from on here somewhere for my first?
Oh and last of all, have a missed something glaringly obvious as to why hop's might not be listed / used ?
