This is an excellent site. Just discovered it on the SI front page. Although my wife tells me I have too many hobbies as it is, I always toyed with the idea of brewing my own. I actually tried it once but it was with some sort of a bogus kit that came with the syrupy ingredients in a large can that I had to add water and then allow to ferment in a plastic keg-looking container. It created approx. 3 gallons of the worst tasting stuff I ever had. Anyhow, I always thought about trying to brew if from scratch. Does anyone have any tips to get me started? Where to buy the equipment and ingredients, and caps, etc? What type of equipment is needed? I looked at this link beertown.org and was wondering if this was similar to method that you folks use? Is there a way to strain out the sediment before putting in the bottle or is that something that you don't want to do? Do you use the bleach formula they describe to sanitize everything, or is there a better method? Any tips to help get me started would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. -CG
