Stop in for a drink.

Sorry to hear that. I know how painful that can be. I understand you brew your own beer. I would like your ideas on a good starter kit/company. I'd like to give it a try.
Mr Beer is a great starter. American Lager, American Lite, or Northwest Pale Ale are great starters. Get the kit with the plastic keg and bottles to start. You can graduate to partial mash batches as you progress. I am always here to help. Mr Beer also has a active Facebook group. I have also bought kits and ingredients from More Beer and Northern Brewer as well.
