I've never brewed before and am looking for some thoughts/opinions on what I should brew for my 1st batch. I like everything that I've ever tried (w/ the exception of most fruit flavored and lambics). Sam Adams made a triple boch in '94that I despised...
A kit from austinhomebrew is the sum total of my equipment so far; other than a massive stainless steel pot, and some bottles (most are the 16oz bud light aluminum bottles). have a turkey fryer too, but I'll be keeping it on the stovetop the 1st few tries.
I don't intend to brew for another 2 or 3 weeks. I've read most of howtobrew.com and have been lurking here (read most of the wiki and FAQ's) and reading for a couple of weeks. Will be continuing to casually research before I try my hand.
my basement stays around 60 degrees F this time of year. set a glass of water on the floor for two days and took a reading.
extract kits that I'm considering ordering are:
AHS Bavarian Dunkelweizen (mini-mash option) or John Bull Premium India Pale Ale
mainly, I'd like to try something that a beginner would be more likely to have success with.
thanks in advance for any replies/advice/thoughts
