First time brewer, long time consumer. Been looking to try my hand at brewing for many many years and finally got an offer from a buddy up in Michigan who has a Grainfather, a Tilt, and a couple SS tanks along with some other gear at a great price that I couldn't turn down. Buddy has been brewing for 12+ years. He said he was going to bring it all down and we are going to do a brew session together to get the hang of it. I've been consuming videos, forums, and articles non-stop for the last 2 weeks to try and learn as much as I can without getting hands on. Seemed overwhelming at first, but when I started watching some YouTube videos, it doesn't seem as tedious as long as you keep everything clean and try to avoid oxidizing.
Probably going to start off my first couple times brewing kits. They seem pretty straight forward. Buddy has a Founders IPA clone that he's going to give me. I'm going to order one that is a little more complicated so I can do it while he's here so that I can see some of the procedures and be hands on. Try the simpler one on my own for my first go around. I'm lucky to have a couple really nice home brew stores within 30 minutes of me as well. Been following the boards on here and excited to get hands on!
