Like a lot of people that home brew, I’m on a budget, so whenever I get some “spending money” it’s a battle to decide what to buy.
Here’s what I already have:
Given my $90 budget, here’s my dilemma/options:
Thanks!
Here’s what I already have:
- 8 Gallon Tall Boy Kettle
- 2 Gallon Pot
- Darkstar 2.0 Burner
- 2 - 6 Gallon Ale Pales w/Lid
- Bottling Bucket
- 2 - 2 Gallon PET Fermenters
- 2 - 1 Gallon Glass Fermenters
- Wort Chiller
- Misc equipment: Airlocks, Bungs, Bottle Filler, Caps, Auto-Siphons, Tubing, Funnels/Strainers, Caps, Bottle Tree, Thermometers…
Given my $90 budget, here’s my dilemma/options:
- Buy equipment to dedicate to brewing Sours.
- I’ve priced out a 3 gallon carboy, auto-siphon/hose, and ingredients for a 3 gallon batch, and I’m at around $75 before shipping - Convert a 36 quart cooler that I already have into a mash tun.
- It is a standard Coleman cooler from a few years back, so I have concerns about temp dropping too quickly
- It does not have a drain, so I will need to drill through the body/insulation, which also concerns me
- Best guess is that it would cost me about $40 for the parts, and with the $50 left over I could put together a few all grain recipes - You tell me what to buy/do
Thanks!
