I also hate to be that guy and say that there is a lot of room for improving the design and ui. Maybe adding the option of selecting many layouts of the site or as you said adding the option to hide the sidebar.
Would love to see theme support, i think there is still room for improvement for the site design. Not to bash you design team but they have a lot of work to do. I really like the way tumblr has done to their site design, even the subtle changes no body notices, maybe you could get some ideas from them.
I brew all grain, in my opinion the easiest and cheapest path is brewing with malt extract or brewing all grain with BIAB (Brew in a bag). I recommend learning with BIAB, you start brewing with grains just right away and the equipment investment is also minimal as brewing extract. You can start brewing small batches like 1 to 2 gallons instead brewing the typical 5 gallon, if you fuck up, is not that painful like throwing a lot of beer, and maybe you could have already the equipment in you kitchen that can hold up small batches. You could get started with this equipment for small batches:
- A pot that holds at least 4 gallons (For 1 gal batch)
- Mesh grain bag
- Thermometer ( If you are looking for a good one, the thermapen from Thermoworks is top notch)
- Fermentor (I recommend something that holds at least 3 gal)
- Airlock
- Racking cane (Including tubing)
- Bottling wand
- Bottle caper
- Bottle caps
- Sanitizer (Really important, i highly recommend starsan)
- Carb drops (You could carbonate with table sugar, but it is much easier with carb drops)
Some books i highly recommend:
-Brewing Classic Styles (Extract and all grain recipes, all gold medal) -How to Brew (This is a classic and a must have) -Mastering Homebrew (I really like this book and is more complete than How to Brew).
I recommend start brewing easy recipes, look for SMASH recipes (Single malt single hop).
Good luck!
