Any home brewers out there?

Also, pick up a copy of Charlie Papazian's book, The Complete Joy of Homebrewing. Best introductory book you'll get. There are a lot of other great publications that are good should you stick with it and get more advanced. I will even send you my copy (if I can find it).

Mule's advice is very good. Only thing I can really add is that if you go get plastic buckets at a hardware store, make sure that they are "FOOD GRADE". This is important. Later on, if you really get going, you can invest in glass carboys.

Thanks, couldn't remember the name of that one. It is the best IMO...
I will check my library on Wed and get back here. I have some other ones that I need to find. Also, very true on the buckets, they have to be new....


OH yeah, do a Hops test at some time and have all kinds of fun learning about them. Pick a basic Ale and pick 4-5 bittering hops to try out in one gallon batches. Learning shouldn't be that fun.


Can you tell I love brewing?????
