Just decided lately that I needed a hobby and what better than a hobby I can consume. Especially beer. Anyway I just got my first batch going. It is a red ale done with this festa brew kit. The guy at the store told me I should start with this (also was on sale) but wow it seemed really easy, suspiciously too easy.
One thing to say that after reading lots of online information and in these forums is that why do they sell these damn beer kits with glass carboys if they aren't necessary, especially for beginners? After I have now had it sitting in a glass carboy already for a few days I realize this is a waste of my time.
Just saying hi and I'll let you know how this first round goes after I bottle. Also I'm sticking with just plastic PET bottles for my first go.
