Sure, I could whoop something up.

I think kits are the way to go for noobs. You have no idea what you're doing when you first start out, you just know that you gotta keep everything clean and follow what the directions say.

1 year later and you're debating at whether or not to mash at that temperature because you would primarily be working with your beta amalyse enzymes which could hurt attenuation though giving you more body.
