I started looking into brewing beer because I thought I would save some money and always have beer available without going to the corner store. I did a lot of research and decided to skip the Mr. Beer kit and go for a "real" kit from Midwest. I figured if I'm gonna spend the money, I might as well do it right the first time(everything plus a carboy kit).
1 year later....
even though i'm at least $1000 into brewing equipment, I still havn't gotten to where I want to be with my brew or gear. Theres always room for somthing else. I just bought the stuff for the "ebay aquarium temp controller build" and a second fermentor today. On TOP of all that, now im a beer snob. A night out at the bar is at least twice as expensive, and god help me if its a small town bar with no taps and BMC only(its happened, it was horrible).
Now, Im not saying I hate my new brew-centered life, its great. I just never imagined being sucked so far into what started as a money saver, that turned into a full time wallet buster.
....time to go pull another pint off the keggerator... at the brand new handmade bar in the basement.
