I always wanted to try brewing my own beer. I only really love craft beers and seek out micro breweries in my travels...
My father brewed his own beer when I was a kid...He also made wine and his own soda...Soooo....I was at a garage sale yesterday and they had a beer making kit still in original unopened box which contained two 6.5 gallon pales, hydrometer, tubing, sanitizing powder, bottle brush, bubbler, other goodies, and a brewing book...all for $5.... I couldn't pass it up....
Now i have been trying to to figure which beer kit to start with...I am not big on Hoppy beers...any suggestions? I do like wheat beers like blue moon...and Honey Wiess...it seems lager need to be kept cool during fermentation...not sure i can do that while apartment living....
Any feed back would be great...and if anyone know a local group...that info would be appreciated...
