You just never know what you can find browsing around good will. I kinda feel like Im the odd man out on this forum, what with all the folks who own and love top end gear. I doubt I've spent more than $200 on equipment, and that's mash tun to bottle, all inclusive. Maybe I should do a writeup on how to approach this hobby effectively on a budget.

Some of us go overboard on the equipment. However, we all know you can brew good beer with a simple setup. In fact, you should do how to videos with you equipment.


Good luck
 
That sounds really good. My Saturday is looking like the Fuller's London porter recipe with Irish ale yeast. I'm afraid of bottling with 1968 after reading the giant English yeast thread.

I recently brewed a nut brown with 1968. It is kind of crazy. After 2 days @63 it just quit on me. No airlock activity & the krausen dropped. I put it in a room @ 66 & roused it a couple times over a day. It took off again & worked steady for a week. Ended up @ 1.012 after 12 days, 2 points lower than Beersmith estimate. I'll keg that one friday & brew a dry stout on sunday. Prost!
 
This weekend I brew Nothing. Camping and drinking homebrew so I have enough empties to bottle 12 gallons next weekend.

I thought it would be fun to take some pics of a brew day. I forgot how busy I get and I completely forgot to take pictures of things like hop additions, wort chilling, pitching, etc. Oh well, it's all in good fun.

Brewing a Session IPA. I'm not sure how it's going to turn out, but I'm sure it won't be bad. Here is the hop schedule I threw together.
