the way home........couldn't bike without 'um...

I am very interested in brewing ur own... Carla isn't down with any
potential smells.. Afraid the Landlord might have kittens...
I was thinking about this Bag in a box thing for my first foray...

I consider beer no more off topic than Cytomax...

I've been an all-grain brewer for years. (Took a hiatus while in NYC
because there was just no way to do it in that tiny little apartment
;-). I'm all set up now with a second fridge, keg system, the works.
Got a nice batch of brown ale in the fermenter as we speak. Next up is
an abbey-style Belgian.

* Buy Charlie Papazian's "Joy of Homebrewing"
* Check <http://brewery.org>

You can get going making some excellent beer with a pretty inexpensive
setup:

* 7 gal HDPE bucket for a fermenter, drill a hole in the lid for an
airlock.
* 20 qt brew pot.
* Bottle capper.
* Thermometeter and (optional, but nice) specific gravity tester.
* Big spoon.

We should chat out of band.

I've missed the OP of this thread, but I must say, that home brews have been
some of the finest drinking I've ever done. Occasionally though, I've tasted
some that was just downright nasty..
