Hey brewers,
First off, I am glad I stumbled upon this site. I am looking forward to the wealth of information on this site.
I have been reading "The complete joy of Home Brewing" and have a question. The author suggests making your first brew from a hop "flavored" malt extract, and nothing else.
Would you recommend doing that, or do you think I would be ok trying a kit recipe like this one: http://www.northernbrewer.com/brewi...act-ale-kits/extra-pale-ale-extract-kit.html?
I would prefer to try the latter of the two, but I don't want to skip any crucial steps along my journey of homebrewing.
Also, any idea where I can get some clear plastic tubing/hosing?
Thanks in advance for any information you can offer!
