Hello to everyone. I am new at home brewing and like a challenge. I currently am heavy into the reef aquarium hobby and have been for many years and now I also have a large interest in home brewing as well. I started with a Mr. Beer kit a few weeks ago and did not like the taste of the results. I let it ferment for an extra week as the fine print said and then bottled a week later I tried one and it tasted like wine lol. I will try another down the road and see how it goes.
Anyway I am now looking into full grain brewing and did buy the next step up today and got the ale pail set up along with a kit that includes hops and barley but still has the malt extract. So I am going to try that next as I think about making a setup for full grain. I need to get measurements for a setup and I am wondering if they are posted somewhere on the forums here? Also I would like to get any helpful info that will help me along the way so all input is very welcome. I know the basics of sanitize and sanitize but are there any other helpful hints or info that will help me along the way to become a great brewer?
