Ok, I've been thinking about home brewing forever but have never been brave enough to actually try it. So today, I had some birthday money burning a hole in my pocket and decided to take a ride to the closest homebrew shop.
I picked up a stainless steel 20QT pot, a deluxe starter kit (glass carboy, ferm. & bottling buckets, and related utensils/equipment) an American Pale Ale kit, and 2 cases of bottles. I plan on getting everything cleaned up and put together this week, as well as read through the kit instructions multiple times before starting the brew next weekend.
I'm a bit nervous but excited.
Wish me luck. I'm sure I'll be back in here with some questions soon enough. Feel free to insert words of wisdom here...
