Whats the minimum equipment needed to start grain brewing?

Post by andymack1969 » Thu Oct 18, 2007 1:57 pm

As a long time away from the scene kit brewer, what should I buy to get started on grain brewing. I have a book and a gleam in me eye at the moment but not a lot else! So any advice would be most welcomed.

I suggest relegating her to the shed during a brewing session then let her out once it is time to clean up :wink:
I suggest you pop over and suggest it instead Daab. :lol:
