What are some good recipes for brewing on a budget? I've only done an extract batch so far, but I would be willing to try partial mash. I'm also open to trying wines. I've got a batch of apfelwein bubbling away, and I'm thinking about trying banana wine.
Before you guys say "HOMEBREW IS NOT A CHEAP HOBBY GO BUY A CASE OF NATTY ICE," let me explain that I'm a college student who loves to cook and can food. I like the process and the learning I get about microbiology along the way. I love the craft, but until I get a job, I can't afford to spend too much cash on ingredients.
I'm into stouts and porters, but I also have a tiny palate, since I've only been legal to drink a few months. Any good recipes that could make a 5 gallon batch for between $25-40 would be great. Also great is if it's stuff that's not too challenging for inexperienced palates, as my mom and friends aren't exactly hopheads.
