Hi guys, total newbie to brewing. In 2 weeks I will be doing a batch at "you brew it'... they provide equipment, recipe and ingredients, know how to step you through process. It's an extract kit ... 5 g... but the cost is really reasonable. They store ferment in controlled room etc... you come back to bottle. This will give me some beer to drink till I get set up to brew my own!
I have landed on doing BIAB.. obviously, full grain..and I do not anticipate ever brewing more than 2.5 g... as I will probably be the only one drinking it most of the time.
So... looking at equipment.. boy lots to choose from. I have been thinking on the Anvil 5.5 gal kettle Anvil 5.5 Gallon Kettle | Durable, Reliable Quality along with the 4 gal fermenter 4 Gallon Conical Fermentor | Stainless Steel Brewing Fermentor . They make pretty slick fermenter cooler as well... but maybe sometime down road?Anvil 4 Gallon Bucket Fermentor Cooling System | Keep your fermenting beer cool with this cooling system!
Then there are the all eBIAB.. and of course .. scrounge pots from kitchen and buy a 3 gal glass carboy.
What would you advise a guy just starting out?
