What casing do I use

Chef Brewing is one of my hobbies as well. I would buy a good starter kit. Instead of bottling in regular bottles which is a huge pia I would jump into kolsh flip top bottles or even 2 liter coke bottles. You can buy screw on tops for 2 liter bottles and use a co2 can to force carb. Which is pretty stinking cool. Kegging is where its at if you have extra fridge space or wanna build a keggerator.
Now if you enjoy wine at all I would highly recommend starting there. Its stupid easy and requires the basic same equipment minus the cooking. I do wine more now than beer. Making a good wine is much easier than making a good beer.

Chef I haven’t brewed in a couple of years, but I did so avidly for about 25 years before that.
We ought to start another thread on this, but I’ll tell you a good place to start is to look up How to Brew by John Palmer. John is a great guy, and many consider his book to be the one you want if you only had one. The last time I looked, he had his entire first version up for free on his website.

TexLaw Thanks, I’m all for a wine and beer category.

TexLaw brewing is like riding a bike, it comes back to you as you get going. I had about a two year hiatus but brewed up two five gallon batches, although not all grain. I have slowly moved more back to making wine, I have been making it before I was legal to drink. Agree about the author.

Chef a five or six gallon SS pot will be a good start and will give you some room for error of a boil over. I think that they make smaller kits down to the one gallon size. Typically they were set for five gallon batches. Good brewing
-
Yeah most kits are 5 gallon. The easiest mistake is burning/carmelizing the sugar in the extract kits. The bucket kits are probably a decent way to get started. I bought glass carboys to start with and while I like watching the fermentation it was a chore to wash them till I built my sump pump recirculating dishwasher. I have so much brewing stuff its ridiculous.
Chef if you lived close I’d do some horse trading. If my wife ever has this kid I will hit you up and see if I can help you out. Maybe put a starter kit together for ya.

pr0wlunwoof They come in one package but they can easily be stored long term. I just take out one or two when I need and then vac seal the rest and freeze them
