I look over these posts and see discussions about kits and other fancy equipment. And the few people I know personally who homebrew have these very expensive kits they purchased to home brew. But I read a book which (brewing better beers by ken shales) which states that i only need the following:
5 gallon dustbin (for 1st fermentation)
3 gallon dixie (boiling)
colander-straining
6 feet of 1/4 inch diameter plastic tubing
several glass jars (1 or 2 gallons each) w/ corks & fermentation locks for 2nd fermentation
sanitization chemicals (I probably would purchase commercial chemicals intended for homebrewing)
Can I make a decent beer with this kind of equipment? Granted, I'm sure the kit allows for more precise brewing. If there is already a thread on this, please post a link---I looked around a little and didn't see anything.
Thanks
