Making a Widmer clone. I just mashed in the grains at 120 degrees and will let them go through a rest for 1.5 hours. I'll mash out at 156 degrees and boil for an hour with 2 ounces of Hallertau 3.2 AA hops. Going to pitch a White Labs American Wheat yeast.
In about 2 weeks, I'll keg, force carbonate, and then serve.
At $25 for all the ingredients, which yields 5 gallons of beer at a whack (67 12 ounce beers), it comes out to about $0.36 a beer.

1. So. when is the party at your place? |
|
:P
My father brews his own beer, too. He has made some pretty excellent brews in the past. I have to admit I never knew it was that cheap to do it yourself.

2. Once you have the necessary equipment... |

it's very affordable. More so than buying beer all the time.

4. I buy equipment on-line where it's cheapest, but ingredients |
|
from the local HBS. check out: St PatsWilliams Brewingfor starters. St Pats is a little more specialized, but Williams is a good place, overall.

5. That's great if you can do that. |
|
However I just don't seem to have the touch when it comes to brewing suds. My concoctions would make a billygoat :puke:
