    New brewer looking for first kit

    That was very helpful and informative post. Thank you! So you're saying that I should find a different kit with a three piece airlock? Or is it ok? I also searched for floating brew thermometers and most of them were rated very poorly. Could you recommend one that is reliable?

    By secondary you mean having a second fermenter to do a two stage process OR or a second batch of beer? I'm new to this and was hoping this kit would be enough to start with. Along with a 7 gal aluminum pot Dial thermometer Do I need a nylon boiling bag? It's listed in the upgrade pack

    New brewer looking for first kit

    That kit and upgrade looks really nice. That's 100% everything I need without cutting corners or getting cheap gear? That's actually a good deal and am now curious about how much better would the next step up be? I would ideally like brewing an ale like a New Glaurus Spotted Cow, just to start...

    New brewer!

    Hello. I have never brewed a beer in my life, but after researching about the brewing process, I am ready to purchase my first beer kit. :-) My budget is 100-200$ for the kit. This was the one I was looking at. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AC55H24/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20...
