Was just at LHBS yesterday. The kit I bought there as my first batch is $42.95. Considering I can make same beer AG for under $25, it may be tough to try it again, maybe I'll just put it together AG style

Yes, 8# extract, 1# steeping grains, half pound sugar, 4.5 oz hops, US 05, caps, 3 muslin bags, and priming sugar. Guess I forgot all the extras that I also now but in bulk. Maybe not such a bad price

I just posted on the "origins" thread, and realized that my 10-year anniversary of brewing is coming up in February.  I'm totally going to re-brew batch #1.  Papazian's "Elbro Nerkte Brown Ale."  I might go authentic and use extract, or perhaps work up an AG batch to brew alongside the original extract version.

Toad Spit Stout, circa 1993 or thereabouts.  I'm pretty sure it was some dark LME, some light LME, some steeped grains, and Fuggle hops, but I haven't checked the recipe.

Would be interesting to brew it again, but I get so few brew days lately I'm not sure I want to give one up.  And the last brew was 10 gallons of stout, so I'm set there for awhile.

IIRC, it also called for 4 Tbsp. of gypsum.

The first beer I brewed ~ 20 yrs ago was an extract IPA from William's Brewing.  I remember I didn't even have a hydrometer tube so I simply floated the hydrometer in the fermenter!  LOL 

As I recall that was some pretty good beer ...and I don't even like IPA(s).  At least for a dirt poor thirty soldier runnin around Savannah GA it was pretty good.  LOL

This is a pretty cool idea to go back and brew a do over.

If so, I'm sure we added it.
