Hi Drinkers!! I need some help! DH and I tried the homebrew thing last year. We rather enjoyed it and i was thinking it would make a good gift this christmas. We have the tools, but I would need to buy either a kit or supplies... Can I buy it on the internet? If I don't buy a kit then how do I know what to do and how much stuff to purchase? Thank you all for your help!!

Not sure what you are looking for. A kit? Supplies? A reason other than the birth of your messiah to buy gifts?

Not true. Define Messiah.

Not true. Define Messiah.

oh good point. Guess I would define it as a savior and so technically a savior wouldn't need to be related to a supreme being in anyway... regardless the messiah most commonly associated with Christmas would be Jesus - the son of God (to Christians anyway) and I don't believe he was a savior, I believe he was a great teacher. regardless, I'm not sure what my brewing goals are. I guess I would eventually want to be able to produce a unique brew.

Kits are a great way to start, but kits ultimately are constraining. Is there a good brew store near you?

how would I know if it's good? there is a brew store about 30 minutes away which is where I got our kit (and apparatus) last year.
