Hi guys I'm Dan and I'm completely new to brewing. So far I've been working on hard cider just to make sure I understand the basics before I tackle the main obstacle; beer.
I'm a pretty poor guy who is a manager at a low-key restaurant and do not make much money. My love of beer takes up most of my extra money and hey decided with what I have left, I'll make some beer!
I already have some of the basic equipment but the main thing I lack for brewing is a brew kettle -- these seem expensive and somewhat confusing to me. I have a flat glass gas stove (dont believe its induction) which makes it even more frustrating to find a cheap kettle. I don't care if it will last forever or if it's perfect, I just need it to work til I can save up money!
Heres the key, I received a $50 amazon gift card for my birthday and thats essentially my budget with shipping (do have Prime through my girlfriend so if the item has that, the shipping is free). Where I'm confused is apparently half of the ones I can afford won't work on my stove (non-flat bottom pots).
You guys were very helpful with my few cider experiments and hoping someone here with the time and experience can point me to the direction of a cheap kettle that will work for me on amazon.com
TLDR; I have a $50 amazon gift card, have a flat glass gas stove, and need a brew kettle.
Help please? Thanks guys I know you all are the best and can help.
(EDIT: My stove is a Maytag "Advanced Cooking System Super Capacity" the ID on it is 8114p695-60...not sure if it is induction or not but it is a flattop...google makes me think it is not induction)
