Hello all,
Quick question, looking for opinions. I haven't brewed in ten years or so, and not with all-grain at all. I've made a couple meads and some beers with extracts. Should I jump back in with all-grain? I'll have to acquire new gear and the like but I plan on small batches until I find my stride. Maybe three gallons? I'll probably buy gear for five or ten and just work smaller.
Any tips, recipes or the like are always appreciated. I'm interested in finding good solutions to gear and stop-gaps for gear. Things I *must* have first, then things I will find useful, then things that just make life easier for brewing.
Thinking about starting with a wheat beer? Opinions on that as a starting point. Recipes that are simple? Tricks? Tips?
Also, was considering bottling it in 33 oz. Grolsch Glass Beer Bottles... I'm too ignorant to know if this is a good or bad idea. Feel free to spank me and set me straight if need be. But I always share a bottle when I drink now, so...
Thanks for taking the time. Love what you got going on here.
Cheers.
