Hey everyone. I'm back in college (again) and working a part time job. Some of you already know that means I have nothing to work with. I'd like to do another batch today! I've got the following equipment:
10 quart SS Boil Kettle
Wine Thief
Hydrometer
Floating Thermometer
Sanitizing Bucket
30 ounces of Star San
Autosiphon and hose
Bottling bucket
2 Six Gallon better bottle carboys
1 Three Gallon glass (currently being used)
SS brew spoon
and some various airlocks, blow off tubes, and gallon jugs
Note the lack of wort chiller! My bath tub does a pretty good job getting a 2 gallon wort cool in under 30 mins
I could make a 5 gallon batch like I did with my second brew (which should turn out alright!) and top off with 3 gallons of water. I know this isn't desirable, but I'm on a budget and the second batch (although still bottle carbing) tasted good at bottling.
I could also buy another 3 gallon carboy and do another almost-full-volume boil beer.
To the point: I've got just about 70 bucks to work with. What's the next purchase I should make? I desire to do partial mashes (BIAB) in the next couple months and eventually (when the money boat comes in) will move to all grain. What ever money I save I can spend on ingredients for brewing more beer.
Come now, HBT.... let's play SPEND DSORENSON'S MONEY!
