Just finished the purchase of the rest of my equipment. I bought over $500 in equipment to get started and I'm diving in head first.
I'm going to start with a Saison since it's pretty hot here and I want to ferment my first brew in my garage just to be safe. I think I'll add a bit of honey water to it after a couple days in primary to dry it out a bit and give it some originality.
Needless to say, after 6+ months of reading books and this forum, I'm still nervous as hell. I wish I could just RDWHAHB, but it being my first, I don't have a home brew to keep me calm.
Thanks to everyone on this site for keeping interesting and awesome threads going because it really helps someone like me know that it really will be okay. Can't wait to report the results.
