Hey guys. This thread made me start thinking about the itch to give home brewing a shot. I'm going to be approaching it from a bit of a different perspective than most though.
I don't want to make the best, most complex, most creative beer ever. I just want to make a solid, passable, blue-collar beer that's CHEAP. I hear conflicting reports on whether or not home brewing can save you money, but this link seems to suggest it's possible with relative ease: http://eartheasy.com/eat_homebre…
I know it sounds weird, but I'm more concerned with keeping it easy, low-tech, and saving money than I am with producing and amazing beer. Of course I'm also excited about the process and I think it will be fun. Is this going to be possible, or is it a waste of my time?
If anyone cares to elaborate with a few details it'd be greatly appreciated.
- buying a case of bud light would probably be quicker and cheaper in the end.Douglas
- You can spend as much or little on a batch as you like. I've brewed 5 gallon batches for $20 and for $120.melq
