Hey y'all,
My name is Drew and I just joined the site, well a few minutes ago. I have been interested in brewing my own beer and would finally like to start. I've studied (called myself studying at least) for the past couple of weeks, and have come across this great / amazing site. I finally did the first step any man has to do before they begin homebrewing, and that is asking the wife for permission I have been looking at getting started (kits and supplies) and not sure how I should start. I was looking as see that I can get a Cooper's DIY Kit for about $100 online. If i were to get this, I could see myself using it 2 - 3 times. To me this isn't brewing, its preparing..... I would like to have something a little more advanced, but I am a little worried about the fermenting process. I'd rather ruin 2 -3 batches of this stuff trying to make sure I have the process right instead of getting a little more expensive kits and messing them up. Another option I have been looking at is a kit on midwest - http://www.midwestsupplies.com/home...g-complete-brewing-package-equipment-kit.html
Problem with the second option is I will need to buy a propane burner. I do not have one right now. Would any of you think it might be best to just go with option one and maybe.... I don't know, make 10 batches before stepping up. I wouldn't might cooking inside, but this is a concern my wife has and doesn't want the house to smell.
Any thoughts? Or maybe, what was a road you guys took to help kick this hobby off? Thank you for your help in advance. Also, thanks for all the helpful information on the site. This is a great place for a beginner like me!
