Thanks for the invite man. I'm in San Francisco, up in the Presidio. Where exactly are you guys at in So Cal? Probably a bit of a drive for me to get out, but that's a nice invitation. I really appreciate that.

Edit: Good resource at Krotchrott.com, awesome!

The More beer store in Concord isnt to far from you. I would suggesst dropping by, its impressive.

I know the more beer shop in riverside has a brew day about once a month where they go through the process, unsure if N cal club does the same thing. Im sure there are plenty of people up there who will show you the process though.

Here's the link:

I didn't see any mention of bottles or a pot in there, so I'd imagine I'd have get those seperately.

That's not exactly a starter kit. Are you needing everything, like fermenter, air lock, etc? or do you already have that stuff and you just need an ingredients kit?

Check out a local brew club and hook up with a buddy, you could watch one of those dopes brew up a batch and maybe you could get all dressed up in that cute little sun dress of yours and go on a little shopping spree with your new pal.

Note above sarcasm (the dress part) officially makes you a member of the club... now go out there find some buddies and rack up that credit card.

I am starting from nothing on brewing. So I suppose I'm looking at the wrong thing. I guess I'll be better off just stopping by Beer, Beer and More Beer one of these weekends and talking someone's ear off

Justin wasn't kidding when he said that the community here is awesome. Thanks so much for everyone's response, you've been really helpful to this poor noob ;(

Tsrah, this appears more appropriate:

and here is another option:

and also:

I think attending a brew day at More Beer is a great idea although there is NO reason why you cannot just wing it by yourself too if you're adventurous.

If money is an issue go back and listen to the 7-16-06 archive (The Frugal Brewer) about buying only what you need to start with. If it is not an issue drive down to Lancaster (it's only about 5 hours from SF, ask me how I know) and we'll do an extract batch.

Good luck.

A bit closer to home might be San Francisco Brewcraft. The guys at B3 are top-notch I'm sure, but nothing beats having a shop around the corner. My cup overfloweth here in Fremont, with 4 homebrew shops within a 15 minute drive.
