I have bought only extract kits before and find there are items included like bottle caps and priming sugar I don't use since I keg. It may not be many $$, but why buy if never used?? I even bought steeping bags in bulk so I don't need those supplied in a kit either. So, I am thinking only to buy my DME or LME, specialty steeping grains, yeast and hops.
I figure that I can brew a less expensive version of a kit if I buy a bulk of these items and get free shipping, but I'll do some price comps to make sure.
Does anyone have a summer favorite, light straw colored ale extract recipe with low IBU's that makes an easy drinking summer refresher? If you have done some comparison shopping for ingredients like I mentioned, how did you come out compared to assembled kits? I know that bulk can help, but I am many miles away from the closest LHBS or brewing club to buy lots of items and share.
Thanks!!
