I am a complete novice to beer brewing, but I have done some reading and I'm ready to jump in with both feet. I've helped my brother in the past but he's been out of it for a long time (10+ years). I feel like I've read more now than he did back when he brewed lol. For me, I'm looking for a lifestyle change. My friends and I have always said we'd love to own a business and when a coworker at my deadend job brought up the idea of owning a brewery my brains gears started moving. I understand the whole "oh I can cook, I should start a restaurant" mentality and how you need business sense and all the associated abilities, so if I'm up for it some day I'll try to swing some financing. Someday I'd love to own a brewery, but I figure the first step is to see if I can brew a good beers for a few years and make my own recipes. Best case I someday own my own business, worst case I have fun brewing beer. I'll take those odds
Amazon Shopping List - I'd like to purchase this all within 24 hours. I'm eager to get going but I figured I'd run it by veterans and try to get some advice. I plan on brewing 5 gallon batches.
Brew Pot
Wort Chiller
Colander
Strainer
Scrub Brush
Stir Spoon
Grain Bag
Thermometer
Hydrometer
Carboy - 6 Gallon
Stoppers
Air Lock
Carboy Brush
Carboy Handle
Syphon
Tubing
Bottles
Caps
Capper
Star San
Sprayers
Fermcap-s
Total = $450
I figure decent starter kits are around $200. Plus I need the pot and accessories, I'll pay extra for the wort chiller. Figure the extra $250 is well spent. I've always been of the mantra "buy nice, don't buy twice" and I figure this will cover all the bases. My ingredients will be sourced from a nearby market in Hoboken NJ
