What is the best team of homebrewing a first timer can get?
Brewing virgin here looking to make a some homemade beer first. It seems so intimidating you do not know where to start. Should I get a kit, and if so, which? Or am better off just buying all the supplies and ingredients separately?
Mr. Beer made from malt extracts is horrible. But they are cheap. would look this first, though: http://www.nthomebrew.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=56_19&products_id=1371 Five gallons is what most homebrewers do in a moment so this is a good team, if you want to find recipes online, and not get locked into one product line producing true.
