ok, So I've been wanting to start brewing my own beer for a while now but the initial cash outlay has kept me from jumping in. I know the kits arent that expensive really but after buying my new house and things like that extra money just isn't there like it used to be.
I've been invited to my first homebrewing meeting tonight and I think its time to bite the bullet. I figure I can justify the cost of the kit by what I, theoretically, should be able to save from buying beer. Though I know how that ends up working out.
Anyway I was figuring on getting the basic brewers best kit and most likely starting out with one of their ingredients kits. I'm lucky in the fact that where I live in Michigan there are quite a few pretty good home brew shops nearby. A lot of them carry mostly Brewers Best Kits so that's about my choice for beer kits.
Once the basic kit is there what else should I need? Aside from bottles and caps that is.
Whats the best way to pull this off on a budget? It does really seem that once you have the initial cash outlay for the equipment it really isn't very expensive though.
