Hi folks
Just starting out. I've done one kit so far the golden stag summer ale. Tried one just before I went on holiday and tasted good if I say so myself haha.
I did enjoy it but I would like to get a bit more involved with process. I've been looking at the grainfather which looks good in the fact that it takes up less room and with a kid on the way at the start of the year and a wife that is less than impressed with my beer kit about the house already. Space is a big appeal. Cost being the negative!
What do you guys think is the best option bearing in mind DIY is pretty much a disaster zone for me haha. Should I start with extract for a year or so and work up or just dive in at the deep end?
Also for learning purposes is the grainfather sort of cheating compared to the 3 vessel set ups?
