I’ve been meaning to start fooling around with brewing beer at home, so I gifted myself with a homebrew kit for Christmas. It’s a basic setup: 7 gal bucket primary fermenter, 7 gal bottling bucket, auto-siphon, racking cane, bottle brush, tubing, bottling wand, bottle caps, capper, powdered sanitizer, hydrometer and a sample tube.

I’ll still need to pick up bottles, a 30 qt. stainless brew kettle and a few other niceties, but this should at least get me started. For now, I’ll see how things work out using the turkey fryer kit I picked up last month.

I also picked up a Lager recipe to get me started. Now I just need to drink my way through a couple cases of Grolsch so I’ll have some bottles. I think I’ll need 40 to start.
