Just tasted the first bottle of my first extract brew...

and holy crap did it taste good! I wasn't expecting much given that it's only been in the bottle for a week and in the fridge for 10 hours but I'm now sold on brewing this way!

Already am... Just wondering about the possibilities/costs of getting set up in the shed. 99% certain it'd be a no from the missus if I tried to keep all the gear in the house!

Caddarn how long does that gear take to get here from the states? ( All the prices are in dollah so I am assuming thats where they are?)

I didn't order from the states, sourced all the ingredients from UK online brew shops and my LHBS. Just found their recipes very easy to follow for someone just starting extract.
