HI so if all goes as I hope I will probably start brewing beer in 4-6 months. Buuuut probably a bit longer. I'm completely green other than the tasting part lol
I'm not sure what I will use. Maybe a picco or a brewie but possibly something more like a grainfather or a braumeister. Or maybe someone can convince me otherwise![Confused :confused: :confused:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Ive googled some stuff but havent been able to find much info for someone as green as me.
I dont want to have a setup that I need to constantly babysit. I know all the ones I mentioned above I can monitor via smartphone which I like. But the picco seems small for the price and I dont like the "keurig cartridge" style. I want to have more input than "look what my robot made"
My biggest reason to start brewing is that beer is taxed to the nuts here in canada and I pay ~$2+/355ml can (12oz.) and thats not even craft. As far as I see it I pay plenty of taxes already. So I'm not worried about the initial input but for sure not buying a Brewmagic for $7000. Please don't confuse biggest reason for only reason either cause theres plenty of reasons I got.
Maybe I should just ask..... where do I start? what should I be aware of? or maybe what questions should I ask?![Confused :confused: :confused:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Any pointers or pieces of knowledge would be much appreciated.. Thank you very much![Mug :mug: :mug:](https://cdn.homebrewtalk.com/smilies/sdrinking-100-154.gif)
