The final necessity for brewing: Ingredients. There are any number of ways to build your own wort from an all extract kit to intermediate kits mixing extract and grains to all grain kits. Santa dropped off an intermediate kit for my first batch. The kits are definitely the way to go to get started. They have nice easy-to-follow instructions and the ingredients are all measured out, except for the water.
The ingredient kit I started out with was Brewer's Best Vienna Lager. More on brewing with this kit in my next post.
Brewing kits are available from the local brewing supply store, for those times when Santa is off duty, or any number of online supply stores. My hope is to brew through enough kits to get a feel for how much of this and how much of that goes into each type of beer before I eventually venture out on my own.
