Hi guys! I am getting ready to delve into brewing. I searched around for a while and didn't exactly see what I was looking for, so I apologize if my question is answered deep in the forum somewhere. My question is basically this: should I buy one of the beginning brewing kits or buy equipment a la carte? The thing is, I've been wanting to get into brewing for a while now, but have never wanted to mess with bottling. I strongly prefer draft beer and the thought of messing with all the bottles was a huge turn off. My SWMBO actually encouraged me to go ahead and get the stuff to convert a small chest freezer into a kegerator and buy the stuff for kegging, so that is the direction I'm going. Essentially my question is rooted in the fact that all these kits come with a bunch of junk to bottle, and since I'm planning on skipping that, I'm wondering if I should buy equipment a la carte. Suggestions?
