Well we finally jumped off the pier into the ocean of homebrewing. It was slightly over whelming at first, and after a lot of research we decided to go with a kit that had the wort already made. I know this is not what some of the home brewers would call brewing, because their is no brewing. But, I personally would recommend this for the first timers out there because it will get you through the mechanics of fermentation, sanitizing, racking and bottling.
