Hey all...not exactly new to HBT but def new to homebrew. I've made some simple wine and cider up until now and I 've had the "bug" for a long time to try my hand at brewing some beer. I was curious if I could get some assistance from all you veterans or at least more experienced folks
A few basic ?'s to get started. I've been doing a lot of reading and watching YT vids on the homebrewing basics. I am not sure whether to start with an extract or BIAB batch. Can anyone recommend a good starter company to go with? If it helps, of course I am an IPA guy (DFH is local so I am kind of a nut for their beer) I am not sure what equipment I need to get started. I do have some equipment that I have used for wine / cider making....
-Hydrometer
-Glass carboy
-Siphon
-Sanitizer and Cleaner
I am interested in kegging beer instead of bottling...is this a good place to start since I already have a kegerator? I would need to pick up a homebrew keg and attachments. I believe I also need a brew kettle (just not sure what size to get 5 gallon / 10 gallon?) Stop me if I am getting ahead of myself
Suggestions / Assistance to get started (especially so I don't fail and makes me not want to try this again for another 10 years...lol)
