Ok.....
So ive been in some rough times since last posting here. Been laid off my job...yadda yadda yadda......but I'm back.
So I make a few good bets this weekend and hit a pretty nice payoff. So now that i have a little "bankroll" that i wasnt expecting......and i have a LOT of free time.....I'm going to get my brew kit on.
Instead of getting a kit I want to create my own. B/c everyone has been saying, get this kit but then buy this and this to replace what it comes with.
Help me create a shopping list for when i go to the brew store. Post things that I should get and I will edit my list as I check the thread.
I'm not going right into all grain like I was going to......so remember when posting things.
SHOPPING LIST
1- 2 6.5 glass carboys
2- floating thermometer
3- hydrometer
4- three piece airlock and bubbler airlock
5- 7.5 gallon kettle
6- a scale of some sort......recommendations please
7- carboy brush
8- beer bottle brush
9- bottle tree
10- jet bottle washer with faucet adapter
11- bottle capper and bottle caps
12- sterile siphon with carboy cap
13- funnel
14- brew hauler...(do these work?)
15- iodophor or star san....you tell me
16- stainless steel spoon
I know i've left out somethings. Like straining bags b/c i dont know what to get. Also if I were to dry hop or not use a hop bag should i get a filer for my funnel? I heard they're a ***** to clean.....but what are my other options?
Thanks for the help guys......
