been there and done it- awesome experience. if you don't drink it in 3 mos, it can go bad. Get the kit at kirks, let him know what flavor u currently enjoy and they can match u up. I liked Fat Tire and made some that was very close
I had a buddy who has done it several times help me the first time. Turned out real well, a coffee chocolate stout. I hear it's an addiction once you really start doing it. Nothing better than a good beer
