I've run a couple of kits (sorry, know it shouldn't be mentioned here) and am working on accumulating the gear to try and make real beer. From what I've read BIAB is the easiest place to start.
So if someone in Auckland area (or ideally north shore) wants a spare hand on your next brew day let us know and I'm keen to watch and learn, and help where i can.
Haha, hey buddy, I do BIAB on the north shore, in browns bay and will hopefully be doing a brew in the next week or so, happy to show you the ropes, its pretty simple once you see someone do it...
Ive added you as a friend, accept the request and ill send you an email with some more details :o)
