hey everyone i am short on cash and have a pretty good homebrew setup what would be the cheapest way to brew something... anything... I am wanting to continue my hobby but its hard to find the cash these days.
I used to do two gallon all-grain batches with a big coffee urn I found at Goodwill for 4 dollars as a self-heating mashtun and empty carlo rossi one gallon glass jugs as carboys.
Cheap brewing can be done.

nothing against AG guys, it just doesn't seem like a full blown AG setup and bulk pallets of grain are a good fit for someone who is saying "i'm short on cash, help me brew on the cheap".
Anybody have the link to Death Brewer's stove-top all grain thread handy?
You don't have to have a garage full of gear to do all grain.
that sounds pretty far out. i like the uniqueness of it though.I'm working on a recipe for what I call spaghetti wheat beer, an american wit of sorts. Basicly you mash 6 lbs 2 row w/ 3 lbs of thin (way overcooked, like boil for an hour) spahgetti.
Lightly hopped w/ say an ounce of halertaur for the one hour boil, coriander and 1/2 a large jar of orange marmalade at the end of the boil.
Still honing the recipe but believe it or not it is pretty tasty. Pasta was on sale when I was at the grocery yesterday for $.75 a 1 lb box so I stocked up for a batch.
OK you can stop laughing now...there is a link within the thread I posted where a guy placed third in a competion w/ a pasta adjunct beer.
