Hi everyone, new here. I’m looking at getting some equipment, but I’m not sure about sizing on carboy, bucket, brew pot, etc. I am hesitant to make 5 gallon batches until I know that I am able to make acceptable tasting beer. I don’t want to be stuck with 5 gallons of garbage. Logically, I think to small batch brewing, then when I know it’s decent, scale up. I also live in an apartment (not small but still an apartment) so I want to be careful of how much space I take up.
So my questions:
a) Go with a small batch kit and then graduate to 5 gallon or just go 5 gallon?
b) If I go 5 gallon equipment right away, is it okay to make small batches or should I just go 5 gallon batches and risk losing more if I mess up?
Thanks!
