I have made a few Mr. Beer brews, and now I think it is time to upgrade to a 5 gallon setup. I was looking at the Northern Brewer Deluxe Beer Starter Kit (http://www.northernbrewer.com/brewing/starter-kits/deluxe-beer-starter-kit.html). I noticed that is says "Note: This starter kit is designed to work with our extract ale kits, brewing lagers or all-grain will require additional equipment." I understand it can't do all-grain, but what else would I need to do an extract lager kit. My basement is 50 degrees until March, and by the bulkhead doors it is consistently 43. I taught it would be a good time of year to brew the lager since I have the right temps.
Is there another kit I should consider? I would like a secondary fermentor, in the kit.
