I’m using a Canon Powershot S2 IS, its about 6 years old but gets the job done. What I don’t like about it though is that batteries don’t last very long in it, even if the camera just sits around.

I don’t think your the odd ball out. I’m the type of person that really likes to calculate risks vs reward before jumping into something. I think everyone just has their own way and you found yours to be just getting your feet wet then figuring out other things later. That works too!

Again, thanks for the comment.

I must be an oddball in that I keep reading about people doing all this research before getting in to home brewing. Personally, I made some homemade hard cider in november, then asked my wife for a kit for christmas. After my first batch of wine and beer were fermenting, I spent the next few days reading a lot. I wanted to just go for it first, since I am a tactile learner.

It took me about 9 months worth of research to decide that I could brew and to get the confidence to go for it. I wish I would have just jumped into it as it is really hard to screw up and really easy to just make better and better!

Thanks for the comment!
