Just read tru this tread I havenever brewed beer
so lets sat that the SHTF you can not now buy ingredients to brew you beer
can you keep a yeast culture for beer going
can you grow your own grains and turn them into wort and if so whaat kind and how do you do it
can you grow your own hops and what kinds
since sugar would be hard to get could you sub honey for the sugar
so is it possible to raise everything you need to brew beer

Congratulations on your win. I made an Irish Stout Extract Kit recently. This one: http://www.brupaks.com/bchoice%20stout.htm
Far too light to be honest. Needed more bitterness as well. It loses all flavour when served straight from the fridge, but isn't great even when sat at room temperature for an hour or so.
I have a question for you guys. I have the edge star mini kegerator and it fits and houses a 5 liter keg mini keg that is. I was wondering? can I self carbonate by adding priming sugar to it and not use a co2 tank or is a co2 tank required regardless
I am.
I think they are a great way to get into brewing. If you are casually brewing only 3 or 4 times a year, sure, they kinda work, and are easy.
If you really like it, move to all grain as soon as possible. It is much more rewarding when you make a beer that all of a sudden tastes like it came from a real brewery as opposed to a metallic extract tasting brew that you get from every kit you use.

Yeah I definitely agree. It's fine if you're gonna brew here and there.
I know people say extract beer, if made with fresh ingredients and proper fermentation temps can be just as good as an all grain beer. I personally have yet to try one that didn't taste like an extract beer.
The jump from extract to all grain seems intimidating before you have actually done it, but I'd definitely recommend just diving in head first. You'll see that all grain is just as easy and you'll kick yourself for not doing it sooner.

One of these days ...
I only want to be able to brew one kind of beer ... stout.
I need to figure out if that is an easier, or harder, variety ... if it requires more or less equipment than being setup for all types etc ...
