I wish I was closer.. That is the whole Brew kitchen I've been looking for to finish in my basement. at $750, someone will get a steal. I have almost that in the little bit I have.. That sink is worth $500 on it's own, and 16 carboys is another $500.. I'm suprised it all isn't gone yet.. If I...

So, yep. I've been here a year, but I'm still a noob.. I was at the supply store a week or so ago, and thought this concentrate might be good, and I've never done one of these. So, the $31.95 purchase was on. I read the entire instructions. I did it just as the instructions said. Sure enough...

Yep, I've done a couple kits, and several just trying stuff. I'm only a year in, so I'm a newbe also.. Here's what I have seen in my 1st year. Taste it. It ain't gonna hurt you. It might taste like A$$ but it won't make you sick. time is your friend. I have bottled wine, before I knew to let it...
