Hey, folks! I was planning on making another purchase to my growing collection of beer making supplies this weekend, and I am at a bit of an impasse. I would like to get into AG brewing soon, since I discovered with mini mash kits that a) I think that the smell of the warm grains is heavenly and b) I just think it seems more fun to me to turn cereal grains into wort instead of syrup or powder mixing with water.
I am also about to bottle in the next week or so, and I was toying with the idea of buying a kegging kit.
I am not able to jump in and make purchases for both setups, but I could do one or the other, but which is more bang for the buck, as it were? I was thinking if I did the keg kit, I'd also need a mini fridge or chest freezer to go with it, and that would be it. If I went with the all grain setup (I think I saw a good one from Midwest that was already assembled) I'd have some budget left over to toss in a few cases of swingtop style bottles and maybe another fermenter. With the kegging setup, I would also still need a beer gun or something in order to share my brew with my family out of state.
Any suggestions for which type of addition is better in the end would be appreciated
