Heard the UPS truck roll up outside the teepee. I never get anything delivered except drugs but he drives a '94 Celica, so I'm confused. UPS dude drops a huge box off and runs to board the truck and haul ass off the res. Grab the box, drag it in, and Mrs. Swaye looks at me like she is surely going to witness some fail in the near future. Then she casually asks if it makes sense for a recovering alcoholic to buy a beer brewing kit. I tell her, quite honestly, I have no idea what any of this is. So, turns out @UW_Doog_Bot really did send me a brewing kit, and now Mrs. Swaye thinks I'm a liar AND about to completely fail at making beer. She's probably not wrong.
Thanks for the stuff Bot. I truly hope I suck at this because I cannot take another addiction. Will report back in a couple weeks when I actually try to do this. Hilarity should ensue. May take pics if there is anything left of the teepee.

Either way it should be chinteresting.

Brewing beer is fun. Just make sure you’re sanitizing the hell out of everything.

Which recipe did it come with?

And on the positive side, they say nothing that grows in beer will kill you. Unless you try to brew a Tsing Tao clone, that'll give you the Vid.Doog_de_Jour said:Brewing beer is fun. Just make sure you’re sanitizing the hell out of everything.

At the very least you can boil all the tap water in the pot. It should get rid of most of the chlorine that way.Mad_Son said: -

This will not end well. Hopefully there’s a Schick Shadel on the rez.Swaye said:Heard the UPS truck roll up outside the teepee.

Is home brew more cost effective?
-
Generally speaking, no. If you’re going big time, large batch all grain, it could be very cost effective. In 5 gallon partial extract scale, no.YellowSnow said:Is home brew more cost effective?

Eh, capital cost is low entry and if you have a decent homebrew store near you(like in Seattle) you can make it "relatively" cost effective. I think I ran the #'s on my setup once and it came out to between $0.75-$1.00 per beer not including my $500 or so capital invested(which gets a better ROI with every batch obviously). Not super cheap but considering your quality can be closer to that of a good microbrew once you get good at it not so bad. Obviously, this doesn't include your opportunity cost or time value of you labor but it's akin to cooking at home, you do it because you also enjoy the process. Lots of Bot afternoon's spent at home brewing beer while watching our? doogs lose to Cal. Also, you guysm will be pretty stoked if I show up with the kegerator to our next Holiday Bowl tailgate.

God,
Grant Swaye the serenity to accept the things he cannot change,
The courage to change the things he can,
And the wisdom to know the difference.

Yeah this is bad.
I've pitched yeast onto cider, mead, beer and wine more than 1000 times, and look at me now...
Ts&Ps to @Swaye
@UW_Doog_Bot - the AHA homebrew conference (soon to be cancelled for '20) will be in SD next year (sshh it's a secret!) - you should go sometime if you haven't done so yet.
still no sports?...ok, back to my furloughed engineer day drinking
