Hi Gang.
I'm brand new to the brewing scene, but things are going well for me... I'm very excited. Currently (happily) using "The Beer Machine" which is handy for about a 2.5 gal batch... I'm ten days away from beer though, so my thoughts drift to getting another rig going to avoid these dark, beerless days. So....
What's the general consensus on the 5gal kits? This is some 60 bottles of beer? It seems a lot. Does it have to be stored cold once bottled? How long will homebrew sit? I'm probably being silly, and will find that 5 gallons of beer disappears inside a month...but I don't want to go to all the trouble of brewing a jumbo batch of beer that I can't deal with either...
Can't wait to hear your thoughts
