Hello all! I am just getting into brewing and found this forum on the googles.
I attempted my first brew about five years ago, and that did not go very well at all. I was gifted a small one gallon starter kit, and followed the directions that came with it. It felt like I did not have the proper equipment to even begin. Kit included a one gallon glass jug, and a siphon hose to bottle, and prepackaged ingredients. Needless to say, I had a few bottles explode, shooting wort and glass all over the room. After becoming discouraged with the processes, I took a break from the hobby until now.
This time around I am doing a lot more research, and hoping that I can produce a successful batch. My first attempt is going to be a Sierra Nevada clone. I am jumping strait into an all-grain recipe, so wish me luck! There is a ton of great information here, and I appreciate any advice you can send my way.
Cheers!
