When I went out and bought my first brew kit, I knew that my father had made wine back in the day, but wasnt sure of the differences in equipment, and (being a lazy former-pothead) didnt want to do any research. SO... I went down to my local HBS (Beers of the World in Rochester... not the greatest assortment of equipment, and kits, but OMG! it's a wall to wall warehouse of beers from all over... if youre in the area, check it out!!) and picked up my True Brew equipment kit (True Brew'd Frew Brew... thats kinda funny).
So I get it home, and head down stairs to my dad's old wine room, and start cleaning up. After clearing some shelf space, and throwing out a couple old empty boxes, I start opening up my kit and seeing what Ive got. About Halfway through, I realize... everything... is... the same.
At first, I was like WTF, why'd I waste my money, all pissed off.... then I started thinking... why get pissed, just make more beer!!
So that was 3 brews ago, and tonight, I started taking inventory.
5 gallon glass carboys x 5
6.5 gallon glass carboys x 4
15 gallon carboy x 1
I really don't plan on using the 5 gallon carboys too much... just foresee blowups happening waaaaaaaaaay too easily. But... a double batch of Frew Brew sure sounds tasty to me!
