Re: Let's talk good beer

I am going to start home brewing.

I need some kind of activity for me and my daughter to do during the next few months of winter.

Anyone home brew or have suggestions on a good starter kit?

Im thinking I just want to get a simple set up and dabble for a few months to see if i like it. then, if i want to pursue it for real, drop a couple hundred on some real equipment. I have decent space in my back utility room/work space area.

Amazon.com: Monster Brew Home Brewing Supp Complete Beer Equipment Kit (K6) with 6 Gallon Glass Carboy, Gold: Kitchen & Dining

^^$90 bucks, good reviews.

$90 is not a bad starting point. Remember this does not come with a kettle. When it comes to a kettle bigger is better. Pay a little more and get at least a 10 gallon kettle because once you start homebrewing you will end up buying one anyway. Homebrewtalk.com is a great board with a wealth of info. Just remember when you buy equipment think big, I would guess homebrewing is going to be up your alley and you will very quickly want to brew as much as you can in each session so go big because you will be buying later anyways. I have been homebrewing for a decade so if you have any questions feel free to ask. Its quite the rewarding hobby.
