Let's brew

[Sabimkbrewer]

Hello,

I just bought my beer brewing equipment kit, I'm ready to start brewing. I have been around craft beers scenery for sometime now, I decided to give it a shot.

My only advice to you would be to start with simpler recipes. This will allow you to get used to the process before venturing out into more complex styles and recipes. There are plenty of good videos on YouTube for reference and step by step assistance.

That DOES look easy. Grain bill, a couple adjuncts, some bourbon-soaked oak... easy as apple pie moonshine

Seriously, OP:

I'd also do something easy to start, like an extract with specialty grains. I've been brewing several years now, and i still do more of them than i do ag. Nothing wrong at all with any style you choose.

Yeah, I just liked the size of the grain bill, etc.

Yep, it IS designed to knock you on your arse. I prefer a smoked porter to an Imperial porter

Did my first batch sunday night (pale ale) decided to keep it simple. A lots of questions! I hope this batch taste good ( I made sure tools were sanitized).

I only have the 1 gallon homebrew kit, and my brew pot is about 1.8 gallons, so thank you for the recipe!!! but can someone narrow it down to 1 gallon or point me to the right direction for 1 gallon recipes, otherwise for now I'm stuck with the 1 gallon brew kits.
