Hi everyone!
I have been a beer drinker for years now(wine also, the wife loves it!). Over the years I have tried out and switched between many great brews thanks to local microbreweries and the Anderson's store which has 2 full isles of individual bottles ripe for the tasting! After reading my monthly Money magazine and it recommending to try home brewing for the beer lovers out there and speaking with an old friend who has started out doing the same recently, I have decided to give it a go.
Depending on the seasons and occasions(and food pairings) I like different styles. Sometimes extra stouts, sometimes Corona style beers. For the past year or so I have fallen in love with some great(albeit expensive to purchase) IPA's. Tow of my favorites are Flying Dog's Snake Dog IPA and RedHook's LongHammer IPA. I am interested in purchasing a kit and finding recipies similar to those two to begin with.
