Other than that, just have fun doing it. I have a basic 5 gallon system with two plastic carboys, one for fermenting and one for bottling. It's more or less the same starter kit you would get at a homebrew shop. I have also started some smaller all-grain batches using the same equipment (except I added a smaller glass carboy) and that's working pretty well. I just do the mash in my boiling pot with a large grain bag. Not the most efficient but it works for now.Jacobnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2497922582714983893.post-88267987737647372272012-01-16T08:02:16.605-08:002012-01-16T08:02:16.605-08:00Thank you very much Jacob.
