I had this last night and was astounded. It is my new favorite... maybe. A local spot came up with a barrel of Founder's Double Trouble, my current fav. I am STOKED by that. I dream I can one day create something like Hopsickle.

I need to go get the kit and get to it. Country Wines seemed to have good pricing and were helpful. I just need a recipe so I know what supplies I need -- just haven't decided on what to lose my brewginity to.

Man, I appreciate all the input. Haplo, I already sense my impatience. I have decided to purchase some extra stuff to do two at the same time. I am debating on keg vs bottles. I got a commission check today that was double what I anticipated and gives me some bucks to play with. I went to...

Wyzazz and rcreveli: your post have been a TREMENDOUS help. Makes sense. I will get a decent beginners kit...

I garden... talk about patience. And work from home, so lots of time. Thinkin to do two brews back to back and follow with two more two weeks later...

Dude, I rule the kitchen. I do 95% of the cooking and 100% of the cleaning in the kitchen. Originally, I am a really good cook, who enjoys it immensely, who likes particular beer...

Thanks wyzazz... So plan on not cookin on the flat top electric range?

Sorry for a redundant post. I thought this would be a better place. New thought. I have some money coming in next month that will allow me to purchase an all grain set up from the get go with multiple kegs. I love beer and cooking so I'm sure I'll stick with it. I have VERY particular beer...

Thanks Haplo. New thought. I have some money comin in next month that will allow me to purchase an all grain set up from the get go with multiple kegs. I love beer and cooking so I'm sure I'll stick with it. Should I start slow and add on or do it right from the beginning?

sooooooo I am 1/2 done with how to brew. Think the Troegs nugget nectar clone would be a good choice for a first? Something like this? Size: 5.0 gal Original Gravity: 1.086 (1.075 - 1.090) Terminal Gravity: 1.017 (1.012 - 1.020) Color: 11.9 (8.00 - 15.00) Alcohol: 9.12% (7.50% - 10.00%)...

http://www.southhillsbrewing.com/product_detail.asp?category=143&product={68D46C8D-EA8F-4B19-826F-FAB6B3FEFC9F} This is at a local store.

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000F3HO92/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 maybe someone experienced would be kind enough to let me know if this is worth the $ and looks to be a good starter kit.

Thanks a lot for the advice. I think I am going to finish reading Learn to Brew before heading to the store. I prefer to be best prepared for success. And I'll poke around here.

dude, you changed my mind! organized and personality are important. And maybe I should talk to you about hops?

better than the strip? How so?

First time here too.... from Sewickley. Any of my fellow burghers have an opinion on the best homebrew supply store? I was going to hit up the place in the strip for my initial set up.

Thanks guys. Believe me when I say I am paying attention. GIusedtoBe: I was going to buy a beginners kit w/ an IPA kit. Do you believe brewing with a recipe can be successfully accomplished by a beginner?

Thanks Brewslut. I think I am off to a good start then! Maybe... I have a 16 qt stainless kettle to start with, am a couple chapters into reading How to Brew, my gf gardens... alot, I work from home, but... the place to brew outside of the kitchen is a weakness. Fortunately, the kitchen is...

HI!!!!! I can't WAIT to brew. It is time to combine my love of cooking and my love of beer. I don't care for bars and resent the $5.5-$7 I have to pay for a half-decent brew in a place I don't want to be. The last time I bought a case I really loved -- Founder's Double Trouble -- it whacked...
