I stopped brewing kits a while ago. When a view requested I brew up a batch of Zombie Dirt. After thinking about it I figured it would be cheaper to pick up the ingredients at my LHBS for less. Full details on the cost breakdown are available on my website...

Having run out of home brew, and the triticale IPA not being ready yet, I decided to brew a small batch. I used what DME I had in the closet and a lot of Centennial hops to see what I could brew. In all the brew day was sonly 2 hours not including the 20 minutes I spent cleaning up the kettle...
