After driving all over town, i discovered K-mart has malt extract and Brewers Yeast (or so i thought i could use this for my brew). It was dead yeast and it never took off, lol. I looked next to it and found bread yeast, so i'm giving this a shot and it's fermenting away in my basement.
Here's what i'm working with.
Keeping it in my kegerator (not turned on) in the basement to keep it cool and dark while it does it's thing
The malt extract was a bit under $7 a jar and yeast was $.50 a package. I chose to use two jars for ~4 gallons...i like to taste my beer. I didn't know where to find hops locally, so i just made this very basic brew. I'm going to force carbonate it in a keg.
For future reference, does anyone have a recipe for a very cheap beer? I'm thinking just using the same two cans (20oz each) and adding (__?) cups of sugar (fill in my blank) for 30 gallons to fill my keg for parties. I've been spending $80 per keg of Bud Light and after i get too drunk, i just stop watching the bar and have $15 worth of people that paid and an empty keg at the end of the night.
