Hey guys so I'm reading through all the home-brew pages and it seems a little complicated to start, only because I have NO idea. Feelin like a virgin here. But as far as safety goes that is my number one concern and it seems like there are many factors that would make me leery to even attempt it. Am I just worrying to much? The significant other always laughs when she sees me pinning because I'm a sterile freak when it comes to that. I think the horror stories I have read and watched have made me very anal about it. So is this something that I should fear or embrace? The main reason is I'm tired of my dist. prices going through the roof every time I want to do some rat testing.
