Want to dip your toe into brewing without spending a lot of money but not really convinced by the can of goo and sugar/dextrose/brew enhancer route? Grandad's homebrew, exploding bottles and beer that tasted more like cider than...well you know.

With an equipment investment of $45 https://www.ikea.com/au/en/p/ikea-365-pot-with-lid... you can be on your way.

Of course, if you do not have one you need a fermentor....this is fine https://mashematics.net/wp/shop/#!/Retro-Pail/p/78...

These kits are only suggestions,and are based on 25 litres of beer.. with this method (based on the Kegland 15MBK) you can later, still using quality dried malt extract, make your own choice of hops and steeping grains. There are plenty of recipes out there as extract brewing is still a big thing in the USA. You will certainly have plenty of grain/hops bags after a few of these !!

This is gateway brewing at its best, you are producing beer whilst not all grain, bounds ahead of basic kits, similar to the "fresh wort" kits but much fresher, considerably cheaper and to your own choice.
