I've spent a good bit of time looking around online and doing reading where I can since this is something new to me. I have found some small batch (1 gal) recipies that look like more my style for now until I have a few runs under my belt.
Currently the kit I recieved contains:
5 gal glass carboy
2 6.5 gal buckets (one for bottleing with a spigot)
5 gal stainless steel kettle
other smaller supplies (brushes, thermometers, hydrometer, siphon hose, etc)
I have to wonder if I plan to work with some 1 gal sized recipes should I invest in a smaller carboy or bucket for the fermentation or does the larger container not matter? If I'm good with the larger buckets and carboy I think I'm ready to give it a go and see what I can come up with!
