    Brand New - Complete Newbie Questions - Pt. 1 - Budget

    Interesting, the previous post just said 'don't buy hydrometers' and your post says 'buy two'. I'm starting to see what some have said that when you start asking for lists, everyone will give you a completely different list.

    Brand New - Complete Newbie Questions - Pt. 1 - Budget

    The reason it went from AG to extract talk, was all the recommendations I got to just start slow (slower than I initially intended anyway which was straight into AG) and do 1-3 (or 5) extract batches and then move on to AG. The ultimate goal is still AG, no doubt. Budget is somewhat of an...

    So I went to Scotzin Bros. in Lemoyne yesterday. I was originally looking to get this to start with: * http://www.midwestsupplies.com/simply-beer-brewing-starter-kit (49.99$) (+S&H) Scotzin didn't have that personally (obviously), but they had these different starting kits: *...

    So it looks like I'm ordering this starter kit, and going to do an extract batch or two (or three) before moving on.

    That's not nearly as concerning as it is (to me at least). I think everyone seems to be overreacting to that on here quite a bit. But, to each their own I guess.

    Brand New - Complete Newbie Questions - Pt. 1 - Budget

    I was actually just recommended this by another person. It's not looking like a bad starting point. I'm starting to lean towards this to get my 'feet wet' type of thing. Does anyone else have any thoughts on this kit? Whats the pale ale kit in it? I looked pale ale recipe kits up on their...

    Brand New - Complete Newbie Questions - Pt. 1 - Budget

    The main reasons were two-fold: 1) Give me more time to adequately research, read, learn, check forums like this out and hear what everyone has to say. And make sure all my decisions are completely sound and that nothing is wasted or done wrong. 2) Budgetary. I figured if I'm picking up...

    Brand New - Complete Newbie Questions - Pt. 1 - Budget

    Ok, so what/where do you recommend for doing more research? Any good sites/articles? Also, just starting out what do you exactly recommend equipment wise and estimate cost for it? I've had a couple of people suggest to me now doing 1Gal start, how feasible is that? What are some basics...

    Brand New - Complete Newbie Questions - Pt. 2 - Growing HOPS

    Ok, so this is my second thread (can you tell?). I am starting brewing. Planning on homebrewing in March. Firstly, I know I won't be able to brew all with just my own grown hops, and I know if I only start growing them this year I can't use them if I start brewing in March. BUT.... I...

    Brand New - Complete Newbie Questions - Pt. 1 - Budget

    Alright, thanks everyone, got a chance to read over everyone's responses, starting to make up a new list now I guess. I still think I might go all-grain to start, or maybe extract kit just to get the feel of it then jump into all-grain (still definitely the plan overall is all-grain). From...

    Brand New - Complete Newbie Questions - Pt. 1 - Budget

    I'm not too familiar with BIAB. I've heard of it but never read/watched anything about it. Do you have complete recipe control and everything like you do with all-grain? Or is it more like extract? (Is it kind of like an in-between extract and all-grain level?)

    Brand New - Complete Newbie Questions - Pt. 1 - Budget

    Ok, so I am a COMPLETELY brand new brewer. Just looking to start out. I've gotten some books that I'm starting to read through. I've watched a good number of youtube videos. My decision has been made, I am aiming for a spring time start to this (like March). And I am starting all-grain to...
