It sounds like you are well on your way to becoming very involved (obsessed) in the great hobby!:mug:
I average 21 to 24 days in the fermentor and so far so good. My biggest problem is thinking of what to put in the pipeline, any ideas for a summer brew?
 
After the wheat I'm doing a APA. I want something hoppy and refreshing for the hot months. I already plan on making the jump to A/G sometime before the end of summer. I just want to get a few batches under my belt first. Also need to space out the buying of my equipment. I can't dump it all in at first like some of my single freinds have. I've got a wife, 3 kids, 2 cars, 2 cats, and a mortgage. Half of the reason I started brewing is to save money (which I know will happen in the long run), but Im just spending it so far:)

Was bottling an Australian Pale Ale last night w/a friend and he marked the caps with APA . We joked that in a few weeks and w/a few brews under out belts we'd have trouble remembering if it was an Aussie or American Pale Ale. :mug:

I dont think saving money will even happen in the long run if you go all-grain, due to the having to catch your savings up with your investment. I got lucky and only spent 50 bucks on my entire brewery equipment list and I'm still catching up. Haha. Just make it a hobby and you know that hobbies cost money, enjoy it for what it is. Awesome homebrew done by you.
