Hi everyone, I'm new here. I've been wanting to start my own brewing for awhile but I've finally gotten the money set aside to give it a try. With that being said, I'm a poor college kid with around 200-300 to get started. I was hoping some people could point me in the right direction.
I know I could get plenty of basic things(Mr. Beer) and get started but I would prefer to get just above the basics and be set for a while. I would love not only a list but perhaps a good place to get the things I need. I am from a very small town and there is not a local brew store here.
Finally, my only other question is about secondary fermentation. I've cruised the forums a bit but I'm not sure what the benefits of secondary fermentation are, as well as, how to do it.
Any comments or feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
