I need a good, cheap beer recipe

[andy6026]

And for anybody that was about to do the math on the above post -- according to those numbers he drinks 450 cans of beer every month... approximately 15 per day. Unless of course the $300 per month cost includes his water bill from flushing the toilet so much.

If you want inexpensive you need to be willing to buy in quantity. For me brewing is about variety. Right now I have 6 cases of bottled beer ready to consume, 2 more cases conditioning and 4 cases in the fermenter ready to package in a week or so. Each batch is a different brew, and I'm looking forward to them all. For me brewing would quickly become a monthly chore if they were all the same. Most recipies I do have a large portion of the grain bill as 2 row base malt, so if I were to attempt economy I would look into buying and storing a sack of grain, which would require me to invest in a mill.
