“I have a stockpot big enough!” I said to myself. And after pawing through the kitchen cabinet that I never use and coming up dusty… and empty handed… I realized that I was totally wrong. I have no idea how I survived cooking spaghetti and meatballs in something so small all these years, but I digress. So, even if I was going to look at beer kits or complie the rest of my equipment, I was going to have to invest in the most basic of things… a pot.

I have now ordered a shiny new pot, which I will be recieving on my doorstep in several days. In the meantime, I’m going to be debating the relative merits of several different beer kits and supplies, whether to scrounge and gather my materials or buy them in one fell swoop, and finally what recipe I’d like to start with (including whether or not to use malt extract). ‘

With the choices that lie ahead, I also have a lot of excitement! Stay tuned for more updates!
