I agree with everyone. I actually like to shop with Morebeer.com. They have a category of beers under .50 a bottle. Buy 2 or 3 of those kits and shipping is free after 60 bucks. Your right around your price point.

I got some PBR that won a blue ribbon...

In my opinion using 1/2oz of star san per brew day is way cheaper than a ruined batch of beer. One less thing to worry about. It basically less than $.50 per use for a 32oz container.

I say skip the carapils and just mash high. I would mash in at about 156. Plenty of unfermentables.

I say before or after you remove the grain. You could let them steep for 15 minutes or so. If you brew via the stovetop it probably takes awhile to get a good boil anyways. Leave them in. They magically turn into your bittering hops :)

duboman is correct. You may even want to let the hops steep for a bit before you get the wort to a boil. All grain peeps add the hops at the 1st runnings and then sparge can take up to an hour so obviously at this method the hops will be steeping in the 150* wort much longer then just pulling...

I used the vinyl tiles with the adhesive backing. They are durable, affordable, easy to install, easy to replace, and actually look decent if you take your time and install them correctly. Best of all I didnt have to level my older basement floor.

For me personnally, no. I dont brew the same style or use the same type of specialty grain to justify or warrant a bigger specialty grain buy. Sometimes I will buy specialty grains from the "locals" so I can hand pick what I want and get it it priced by the ounce.

Nice! Well you always get me for yeast, hops, and other various equipment. Love the new PA location. Next day ground shipping to Cincinnati!!

Yep, 10lb increments on morebeer.com. Hope they dont catch on!!

Time for a brew Kat!

Yes, I can see where LME directly sitting on the bottom of a kettle would scorch.

I just think that the heat from direct heating (element directly in the wort) is not the same from in-direct heating (Burner heating the kettle, heating the wort) and has a higher degree of difficulty to get right equaling a increased chance of scorched wort. The surface area of the bottom of...

Disagree

Good info on here..I've been brewing parti-gyle for the past few months. Just be be aware that your second running will be very pale in color. I keep some crystal malts on hand and steep to hit the SRM I am looking for in the small beer.

I'm just giving MY experience. I'm not trying to push anyone away from their "dreams" but it is a possibility of having limited success.

Yeah, mine fills Co2 for 2 bucks a #. They also started to swap out propane tanks but I get my topped off at tractor supply for about half the price.

Trub bread... that's pretty gross. Fertilizer yes, bread..mmm no

Ash tray beer... it ain't good and wouldn't score high as a "specialty beer" in a competition. I e-brewed for about a year. After HD, LWD, & ULWD elements I said forget it. Went to propane and I'm a happy camper. My e-keggle is a great HLT!

ohhh...It knows that you know that it knows that its in a bag so by default it can simple not be as good.
