Sorry about that.
I have never been a beer drinker. But when the people around you only drink Coors Light, that is understandable. (Actually I don't consider them beer drinkers anymore either.)
I have always found brewpubs to be really amazing places with the best beer. Unfortunately there are none close by. My husband and I have been watching "Three Sheets" and "Drinking Made Easy" and it sparked my interest even more. After watching "Beer Wars" I really wanted to try and see what we could come up with, so I asked my husband for a kit for my birthday last month. He was more than happy to oblige and to continue to find more things he thinks we should have have. (now it's a kegging system and our first batch is still in the fermenter)
I'm seeing lots of great info and looking forward to learning a lot!
So What is in the carboy right now is Midwest Supplies Irish Red Ale. It is about 10 days from the boil and I can't wait to bottle it

Exciting isn't it? My first batch had me hooked and it was a frankenbeer. I figure if they sent the wrong hops and it can still come out that freakin' tasty then this is a hobby that I'm just going to drown in .
My only regret is that I didn't save any beer to drink while the current batch is fermenting/aging etc. *sigh*. Foresight, I swear I'll have some this time.

Welcome to the obsession.
Your husband is a wise man to want to go straight to kegging. Bottling is a real hassle. You'll also need a couple more fermenters so you always have beer ready to drink.

My husband and I have very diverse interests. Since we've started brewing, we have a lot more to talk about! We sit on the porch every night, sampling our brew and planning on what we will make next. It really has become an obsession!
