Hey all,
I started off with some simple cider to see if I would enjoy brewing, and I enjoy it. This was a while ago however, so I am starting fresh. I am not looking to go crazy, just one 5-gallon batch at a time. I would like for y'all to double check my supply list to see if I am missing anything.
I am thinking about the Goose Island Porter starter kit here. I like porters and stouts, so this recipe included works. Additionally a secondary fermenter just to have, it sounds like several recipes call for this so want to get it up front, and can use it for sanitizing. Last, 24 of the 22 oz bottles - I think I will prefer these over the 12 oz bottles. I read through the reviews of the kit and sounds like it has just about everything but thermo/hydrometer.
So, what I'll be ordering:
- Bottles
- Full recipe
- Fermentor
- 2nd Fermentor
- Airlock
- Bottling Bucket with Spigot
- Bottle Filler
- 5 Gal Kettle
- Spoon
- Siphon, hose, hose holder
- Oxygen wash
- Bottle Brush
- Capper and caps
Other things I can think of that are missing out of that order but will get:
- Can opener
- Glass measuring cup
- Plastic / foil
- Thermometer
- Hydrometer
- Strainer
Let me know your thoughts. Thanks!
