Ok, so I've been reading about home brewing for quite some time. I'm very excited about starting my first batch, however, due to constraints on cash I don't know when that will be.
I'd been looking at using extracts first, as that seemed like the simplest path, but it also looks like it's a bit more expensive. So I was wondering if it wouldn't be a bad idea to jump straight in to all grain? From what I can see it's quite a bit cheaper to buy grains than extracts (i'm finding 3.3 pounds of extracts for around $15 and 10 pounds of grain malts for around the same price). I figure if I went straight to all grain I could brew a few batches for about the same price.
So I was wondering if someone could give me a reallly simple all grain recipe to try out for my first time.. Or some advice. Or both!
