Ok, I just made my very first batch of beer on Saturday. I am hooked! I made an extract kit from Midwest - the Irish Red Ale. I thought I would keep making the extracts for a while until I get my confidence level and skills up, then try my hand at all grain sometime in the future.
My question about extract kits - would some of you share your ideas on which kits (brand of kits) you like and why you like them? Any suggestions, comments would be appreciated. I liked the kit I used - from Midwest - it came with some grains, so I got a chance to get a feel for steeping grains first and two different hop packages - one for bittering and one for aroma/flavoring. It was really an enjoyable experience, I can see why so many people really get into beer making.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions/information you'd like to pass on.
