My son and I are thinking about starting to brew beer and thought this may be a good place to get started ! Haven't brewed anything yet just getting everything together but looking forward to the process!
Brewing is 90% cleaning and heating water, and waiting. If you can do those 3 things I would highly suggest it. You can make great beer with a 10$ home depot bucket and lid, and and two $11 4-gallon brew pots from walmart trust me.
From what I have read and seen its not that hard as long as you are meticulous about following instructions and procedures! I think we will have fun with it and should be a good bonding experience for my son and I!
I have very good friends (who also brew) just north of Butternut, also just off of highway 13. I get over there every summer, often more than once, and bring at least one keg. They live in the Glidden area, June through October, and are pretty good brewers. So I'm familiar with that area, and love brewing with them!
