right? The temp controller was 20 bucks, but then went to home depot to get an outlet, outlet cover, wire, three prong plug, box to put it all in and spend another 30... so thats 50 so far in and dont even have the heat pad... plus the fridge... I better start making some good beer!

Thanks. Out of the gate I started a milk stout from a kit the LHBS put together and that is already in a kegerator (Kinda went nuts and bought the parts and threw one together knowing this is going to be a long hobby). That one I just tasted after letting it sit in the primary for 3 weeks and...

Got head retention for about 5 min. Own recipe of a hefeweizen but way too much crystal. Still a beer and not bad at all in taste. Under pitched and several goods but not a bad deal. Looking forward to the next
