So I finally got a homebrewing kit! Merry Christmas ME!!!
I have so many questions my head is about to explode so I figured I would just start getting help here. First off here is the starter kit i got:
http://www.monsterbrew.com/Prod_GoldKit.cfm
I was just wondering if there is anything this is missing that I need. The only other thing is I got bottles but I plan on kegging since I have a kegerator. I was planning on just getting a 5 gal reconditioned soda keg. How well do these work? Any advice on where to get or how to handle them? What else will I need with the keg to make it work? I have a CO2 tank, regulator, and beer and gas hose (basically just everything to hook up a store bought keg to my kegerator).
The other thing I have questions about is the brewpot and wort chillers. I plan on getting both and was wanting advice on them. Whats a good entry level item for each of them? The brewpot is being bought for me so I could even go a little expensive on that . Should I get a spigot and/or temp gauge built into it? Should I get a copper or SS wort chiller? I have seen both.
I am so pumped about this. Thanks for the advice ahead of time.
