My Craigslist experience is limited to trying to buy used cars furniture and rent a house. I have yet to find someone who owns the item they're advertising.

Re: how much did your first batch cost?

So I think ill stick with retailers for now. Besides, I get to meet people and ask questions that way. Google maps only shows a few spots in my area. I've been to Addison to Meet eric, but stein fillers is NEVER open, and I don't think zymurguy really exists. There is no building at that address.

Re: how much did your first batch cost?

Wow. Brewers are certainly a helpful bunch. Thanx. I have the worst luck on Craigslist, though. I'm convinced that everyone using it are hookers, muggers, or west African scam artists. I have yet to meet an honest man on there.

Re: how much did your first batch cost?

Re: im new!

I think I want to start out with 2 buckets and a carboy. I'm gonna need a kettle and a fridge. I'm gonna wait to get the outdoor propane. And I figure in for a penny in for a pound, might as well get the full pound of cleaner and all the little bells and whistles
