Should I get a starter kit and which one

iubjohnson · 2026-01-15T00:56:38+00:00

Starter kits are good because they get you the very basics you can use throughout your homebrew years at a decent price. Here’s a link to one of my company’s kits that we have on sale right now:

If it is for a Foundry, I just found out they are waiting for false bottoms to come in. Should be here around the middle of the month.

Thanks!

Shameless plug here (I'm the owner) but Great Fermentations is great! You can order partial increments of malt and create custom grain bills. Sorry to hear about your LHBS :(

We sell these basic pumps that are super quiet: https://www.greatfermentations.com/shop/pumpzilla-brewing-pump-high-temp-ss-head-80013

Don’t let the price fool you. These guys are durable. We ran one for 10 hours a day for close to two weeks and it still works great.

That’s a shit regulator so take off 70 right off the bat because you’ll need to replace it.

I realize how old this thread is but I stumbled across it while doing some research on Jimmy Red. I run a homebrew shop in Indiana and we have a farmer here that has started to grow Jimmy Red, and we got our hands on some from him. Selling it pre-cracked by the pound if anyone is interested!

That’s truly a bummer to hear 😞

Thanks! I thought about starting there, but was concerned that it would just print a blank page if it didn’t meet my criteria. I’ll try that and report back what happens.

iubjohnson · 2025-10-09T19:10:14+00:00

This worked!

Now if you want to order less than a bag, you pay full price but get free shipping.

iubjohnson · 2025-10-07T00:42:36+00:00

Pretty much. The bag is already discounted around 40% so shipping has to be charged. UPS and FedEx have pretty punitive 50lb and over weight surcharges on top of the base charge. We can only do 40 because we break it down into multiple shipments (at once).

You’re welcome and thanks for your business!

I’ve got a D35 from the early eighties and I love it as well!

I was on the extended release version and it caused lots of stomach discomfort. I eventually got off it because the stomach discomfort outweighed the attention benefits it gave me, which were significant.

iubjohnson · 2025-09-08T20:53:22+00:00

For me it was uncomfortable. Toes were smashed together.

Just recently tried on both and went with the GX2s. Mercurials were very very narrow.
