If you start brewing, you'll need to invest some money up front. Here's a quick list.....starter kit, includes brew kettle, carboy for fermentation, siphon, tubes, hydrometer, some basic chemicals and bottle caps.....all that will run about $200. this is for the extract kits, where you don't have to have two separate large containers for grain mashing. So a kit will cost $25 - $30, yeast another $6 and you can brew two cases of delicious beer for $35 all-in.
It tastes way better than Miller, Bud or Coors....you get tasty ales, IPAs and porters. You get the pure enjoyment of making your own beer and either sharing it with others or simply slamming it home in your man cave.
Oh yes, brewing your own is waaaay better than buying beer and it's waaaay more than simply the price.
Thank you for the info, Irish guard. Gee, I can my own tomatoes, peaches, jellies, jams etc... perhaps I will start making my own “Mom” beer!!
