Wow thank you for all the replies and birthday wishes. I forgot to check back because all week I've been studying for midterms and then I had my party this weekend...I moved out of my parents house a couple months back, and I'm in an apartment so I have just the essentials right now. I'd have to...

Today is my 21st birthday, and I've had a taste for beer for a while as well as an interest to brew my own. Now that I can finally legally brew my own, I just wanted to get beginner advice and the approximate start up cost for all equipment. I generally have a taste for things like Killian's and...

I am very interested in making my own beer but am trying to keep it cheap. Right now I bought a DIY Juice to Alcohol kit from ThinkGeek. I think it will probably taste horrible and want to learn about actual home brewing. Some welches grape juice with turbo yeast doesn't cut it for me. Would...
