I've wanted to brew my own for a few years now. Having done this one time maybe 25 years ago, I ruined everything due to I don't really know why.

Expect to spend about $150 ish on equipment to get started but beware - one of my friends now has over $10,000 invested in his garage brewery. He makes killer beer though. |

Great hobby with a delicious payday. |

Pretty simple to do and not that expensive to get into. Northern Brewer Starter Kit On sale for 99 bucks and comes with your choice of 3 ingredient kits. I started off with something very similar |

I use a reptile heating bulb element in a small lamp for control. It folds flat for easy storage.  Attached File |

Haven't brewed in too long... mostly because of grain prices and dead chest freezer used for fermenting. Might start again some day. Pics from the old days.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By FrozenWinter: Nice rig! I've been meaning to upgrade my wooden structure to steel. Thanks.... And you won't regret going to steel. I welded that thing up some 24 years ago. It's held up well. Added the March pump about 12 years ago. It's not automated at all, which turns some people off. But I'm OK with that. I crept pretty close to the 200 gallon limit a couple of times making beer for windsurfing races. I've got 16 cornies, 3 7-gal primaries and 9(?) 5-gal secondaries. Then there's all the leftovers from when I was making 5 gallon batches. I started brewing in '94. If I was living out in East BF, I'd probably start brewing again. But when you live 4 miles from a Flying Saucer and 20 minutes from a Total Wine, it's tough to find that motivation. Here's an oldie but goodie airlock from when my father was making wine...
