...and vent some excitement.
I'd mentioned to my significant other that I would like to try this home brew thing. It really was just in passing and several months ago at that.
Well, a few months later, she sent me some mail with a little Amazon flyer showing that she'd bought me the ubiquitous Mr. Beer. I was pretty excited. So I started trolling sites like this one in my spare time to learn what I could.
Well, disappointment hit when she said that it'd arrived but looked like someone tried to nail a 40yd field goal with the box and she'd sent it back.
The disappointment gave way to excitement when I'd realized that, after reading here, I'd planned to replace it anyhow.
I'd purchased a FEW things that I knew would be needed; but then...Oh, then I found the "starter kits," and really started to foam at the mouth as I was shopping around.
So, I'm pulling the trigger, so to speak, and just ordered one of these:

with the Better Bottle and some Irish Red.
I'll be home mid-April and figure I can cook up the first batch near the end of the same month.
It should be waiting for me to sift through.
Should get some interesting looks from my roommate after cooking massive amounts of ugly gunk up in a pot. Oh, if only he werent a tea totaller.
