Oh yeah, real cheap. Just got mine for $100 shipped. I'm so excited!Originally Posted by ashauler
Now that's funny shit right there.
I'm with Dennis.......like I need another hobby, but I do kinda like my beer, I'm a hops guy though IPA/Ambers etc.... what brewing board did you guys join?
The equipment investment looks to be pretty moderate to start with.
The forum is homebrewtalk.com

Dang, that is pretty inexpensive......is it only equipment or a package with ingredients?
I'll check out the board, thanks.

It's just the equipment + you have to buy a brew pot seperately. Then you got spoons and what not. The equipment kits run around $30-40. I just ordered the Nut Brown Ale from AustinHomeBrew.com. Makes 5gl - or 2 cases.

Despite my previous posts indicating otherwise, I truly enjoy microbrews. I would love to start into this hobby.
Hmmm....haven't heard of the Stone Oatmeal Stout. Need to find that one.
That starter kit looks rather enticing as well....
Let us know how it goes, Chris.

Shopping for my first brew pot. Knowing that I have a tendancy to jump head first into hobbies, I would rather get what I needed the first time and not have to upgrade later when I become obsessed.
Example: Get a trunk instead of a humidor.
Having said that ... what size brew pot should I purchase? I'm starting out with extracts but can definately see myself going more advanced in the future.
Something like this??? Link

Couldn't you just check out a restaurant supply store for an 8-Gal. stainless steel pot? What does the "brewpot" part add other than price?

You would be better off with a superbrew pot over the economy. If you scorch your wort you're done. So the thicker bottom is a good idea.
Also, I wouldn't worry about sight glass or thermometers but a ball valve is a must.
Also their wort chillers are dam cheap. You are going to want one of those also.

Ended up getting this one

Can't beat that price.
