Hi everyone
I'll apologize upfront, I'm sure this topic has been discussed numerous times but I wasn't having any luck searching the forums.
I've never brewed before and would like to give it a shot. Should I buy a kit or try and piece together my own individually? My concerns are such things as will a 5 gallon fermentor keep my satisfied for batches of beer to come, especially as my skill increases? Is the wort cooler, with the copper piping, it comes with a decent piece of equipment? If I buy this and down the road decide to start brewing all grain will I find myself scrapping the kit and re-buying upgraded versions of the equipment?
I know there's a lot of factors that could determine the answers to this question, but any info as a general rule of thumb would greatly be appreciated.
Thank you!
