I have now brewed 4 Mr. Beers and 4 5-gallon batches. I think I have my process down so I don't feel like a total klutz while brewing. And, the beers have all turned out pretty good. My big batches have all been extract kits assembled by my LHBS. I think I am ready to start experimenting with recipes, which means I will need to buy my own ingredients. I like to brew on the darker side, brown ales, porters and stouts. Maybe the occasional IPA to spice it up.
So, are there certain ingredients that I will likely be going through a lot of, and should therefore buy in bulk? It sounds like pale malt DME would be a safe bet. Any suggestions for grains, hops or yeast?
And, of course, any tips on where to buy this stuff in bulk from would be helpful as well.
Thanks all,
JJ
