Have been considering home brewing for a little while now. I have read/ learned a good bit I believe, my brother in law has been brewing for a few years. I recently decided to try on my own and then LivingSocial just happened to have a great deal for Midwest Supplies. Included is everything I need to brew and a kit for Irish Stout. I am wondering if secondary fermentation would help out even though it is not called for in the instructions. Also the kit comes with a bucket for fermentation however my brother in law says a glass carboy is better which has me wondering if that is necessary. My kit shipped today so hopefully I will be brewing soon!
