I'm just getting started and am strategizing how to ramp up my brewing from total beginner to a bit more advanced.
So, I have my first ever batch of beer fermenting, which is the Everyday IPA by Brooklyn Brew Shop. I've ordered a 6 gallon Better Bottle and am planning on doing a 5 gallon batch this Saturday using an all grain recipe kit from my local shop (Maine Brewing Supply). For the batch after that I'd like to find a good recipe online and try to assemble the ingredients myself.
Does this seem like a pretty good strategy to you all? I'm trying not to get in over my head, but I'd also like to try something new and challenging with each new brew.
My buddy wanted to do an extract for the brew we're doing on Saturday, but I figure that all grain is cheaper, and I'll feel a greater sense of control and accomplishment.
Just throwing all this out there for the sake of conversation. I've attached a pic of the progress of the Everyday IPA so far. Thanks!
