Hello beer making folks
I've been making wine for a while now and I really enjoy it. However, I prefer drinking beer.
Part of what is great about making wine is that I can, through a labor I enjoy, turn ingredients I can find in the grocery store into wine at a lower cost/bottle than buying alcohol from the store.
The beer making information and recipes I have seen all involve the use of extracts that must be purchased from a brew store. While I don't mind buying some special ingredients and I am certainly fine with buying any equipment I need I would like to keep my costs equal to or below $5.33/gallon (the price of my current store bought beer).
Does anybody have any thoughts or suggestions on how to go about doing this? Recipes? certain styles that might be cheaper to brew? etc?
