yesturday my buddy and i just cracked open our finished product of our home brew. It ws actually good, i was thinking it was going to be a dirt sock / vinegar taste, but i gues we did something right. ITs quite easy and fun, and you sorta get that satisfation that you created it. If you have room and some patience, i suggest trying it its fun and interesting, plus 5 gallons of beer for about 35 bucks
