The patience thing is definitely an issue, at least until I get a bit of a pipeline going... started it three weeks ago and it has at least another couple weeks before bottling.

Definitely an interesting hobby and at ~$50 for ingredients, it comes out to about $1 per 12oz after the initial ~$200 for equipment... well, and maybe other stuff eventually.

Yup... If you can make a box of macaroni and cheese you can make beer... Clean/Sanitized equipment and a good thermometer is about the hardest part...

I prefer the 22oz bottles over the 12 ozers, I have even found good success with those plastic PET bottles...

I like Ales.. Mainly Irish Red Ales ...
