WoW! That is interesting. It just goes to show how popular brewing has become.

Homebrew is similar to farts, everyone prefers their own.

That Rogue Dead Guy Clone looks pretty good. I like Dead Guy a lot. I haven't done a comparison to see if $39 is a good deal for that extract kit, but worth consideration.

great source of bottles too!
|
|
on a side note, I read somewhere (on this site I believe) that Costco has 24 pack mixers of their house brand beer. It's hella cheap and comes in bottles that are great for putting homebrew in. Apparently it costs about the same per bottle as buying empties. And here's the real kicker-apparently the beer that's in said bottles is pretty decent, especially for the price

Does not include brewer's yeast
|
Since it's not even, uh, hardcore enough to have a good yeast, what are the chances that it has enough of everything else? |

It is brewed by the Gordon Biersch production facility. I think the 24 packs of Sierra Nevada are a better deal. |
