Hello,
So I recently bought some equipment to brew from home. The stores around where I live were pretty turned away by the idea of doing it from scratch because it's a "dying art". Maybe in my city it is. But that doesn't mean I can't order in the supplies.
I purcahsed a kit and simply dont ever want to buy a kit ever again. It sucks the life out of it. Mix. Stir. Check the temperature and add yeast. I had a no boil kit.
My main question is what equipment i'll need. I've been told the equipment can run me up to $1000 but looking at what I currently have that shouldn't be the case. I have a primary fermentor and a glass carboy, got my spoons thermometer,hydrometer and siphon. But to mill the grains and such down I dont have any equipment to do that.
Any recommendations on where to purcahse this equipment online and what sort of things I should be looking for? Also the only option I have for boiling is on my stove I have read it's easy to break elements on stoves doing it this way? Is that really the case?
