So I checked my email this afternoon, and midwest has not shipped my brewing kit yet due to the fact that they have not recieved my payment in the mail yet. That sucks, because now, chances are that I won't recieve it before this weekend to do my first brew. If I get lucky I might get on Saturday. That would give me just enough time to sort through all the equipoment and get it ready for the big day sunday.
I did however get a shipping confirmation email from AHS stating that I should recieve my ingredients by Friday! But it does me no good if I don't have my primary!
On another note, I bought my brew kettle today. It's a 30Liter turkey fryer from Lowes. It cost me under 50$ eith tax and all. It is aluminum, sorry to all the SS advocates ! It's what I can afford right now starting out. I like my setup, and that's what matters. It even came with a probe thermometer. The thermometer was around 12$ or so if you bought it seperately. I imagine after I get a few brews under my "beer belly" I might upgrade to SS. We shall see.
There are a couple of things I still need/want to get bofore the big brew day, such as:
I've also got a Mead scheduled for the near future too!
Just Waiting now. Waiting for my stuff. Waiting. Waiting. Waiting. Waiting. Waiting.
